Southwest "Poolie" calls are going out

[GhettoBeechjet]

Hurry up Poolies we NEED you! Apparently we have big plans and they include you.

Drinks are always on me Ladies and Gentlemen!

Big plans cool. Do they involve sharks with laser beams?


New hires if the capt doesn't make good on your drinks I will.

What'd you call me?

Gup

Poolies....don't let that comment fool you...Gup is one of the most relaxed guys here....you will have a great time flying with him.

...and I think he buys on the layovers....probie or not...

Got the call today. In training by the end of Q1. The PD went all out to make sure I knew I was "in" prior to the weekend rather than leaving me hanging in the wind a few more days. So typical from what I hear and a big reason why I am psyched to be joining SWA.

I have the feeling we're on the front of a wave and I'm ready to hang on and enjoy the ride.

Thanks Bro! I was just having a little fun with the boys.............

But I was a Charlie One Five Zero IP when I was "back in the unit."

Does that count?

[Bigoober]

Congrats, mt2! Great news!

Welcome to the shallow end (nope not the gene pool!)

Guppy, looking forward to the round.

I heard they will go for some internal hires to fill the few remaining spots, sim instuctors and such.

Heard the same thing...school house folks and we also have some mechanics/folks from other depts. that have been flying on the side that are qualified. Doubt they will interview for only 18 spots.

I have been hearing around campus that there may be more hiring though. I find it hard to believe but things seems to be changing around here very quickly.

Hope this helps.

Attn Poolies: Make sure when you are attending your new hire party, you put your full name AND your flightinfo "callsign" on your name tag. This is critical.

:beer:

 

[JA'd]

Also make sure you buy a hat at the uniform shop. This is mandatory.

Let me guess, someone put their "call sign" out there and still hasn't heard the end of it.

Me, I figure if someone wanted to know' they could easily figure it out.

Bigoober,

Guy in my interview group did this. Seriously. I won't tell you his background. (USAF) He also didn't answer when the interview gal started calling names to head to the interview room until she referred to him as "Callsign".

Interview girl: Is Joe Schmoe here? Joe? Schmoe, Joseph?

Callsign guy: Oh do you mean Joe "Vapor" Schmoe? 'Cause if so, that's me! <------- Not his real callsign.

Interview girl: Uh, ok. Come with me...

High comedy I tell ya. He is not a pilot for SWA now...

Congrats to you! Welcome aboard! See you at the party!! :beer:

There are always some who make it easy to weed out the gene pool. Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Tanker Clown]

Congrats guys!

BTW, my buddy got his whole November schedule cleared to go to HQ in Dallas to work with management on a project he would rather not have me let anyone in on. A little hint, it's a pilot productivity enhancement project. I'll let you know any info I get from him. He thinks he might even get a permanent job in Dallas!

 

[texman]

I know who it is. Or is it you.lol

[Tanker Clown]

Will do Guppy. Please PM me your name so I can tell him.

 

[Captzaahlie]

Speaking of......

From what I remember, there are 188 training slots for the classes coming up in the next quarter yet I believe only 170-something poolies coming in. Does Southwest plan on opening up the app to fill that small void?

I know I it should open up soon anyways just to have the data from the new format.

There are really 170 poolies?
Thought it was less, impatiently
waiting for the application window
to open again.
Congrats to all you guys drying off for class!
