A great post from a newhire FO at SW. 82 likes as well.

Sorry this is harsh, but if you wanted to keep costs down, you should have brought the Air Tran pilots in at first year pay. Good will was keeping the bulk of their seniority and all the benefits that go along with that seniority. Paying wages with their accrued longevity at another airline was overkill.

separate water fountains might be a good idea too...
 
I had an interview scheduled at Value Jet in May 1996, it was a week after the crash. I didn't go.
 
So how'd that work out? You coulda been a SWA pilot now! :)
They cancelled all interviews I think, I even had my $10,000 in the bank to pay for my training in the DC-9.
