BTW, Socal. I'm sure the reality of class approaching is pretty shocking and long waited for. They(The Company) will do a real good job informing you the first few days of indoc. Don't sweat the small stuff. Welcome.........................


PilotGolfer! I'm messing with you.....
 
no, oakland is the most junior, then phx, then las. i was hired in sept. i got online in november and just got vegas for may. i could not hold vegas in april, only oakland and phx.
vegas is growing a lot so i'm sure things could change. as far as getting mdw, bwi, or mci. gonna be at least 6-12 months.
 
SoCal,

You've been in the pool for nearly a year. Now that you are starting class,these questions are just now coming to mind? Seems like the subject may have come up like the day after you were offered the job.

I don't mean to be a wiseass. Congrats on the new job!

Well, alot has changed in that year, don't ya think??

Sweet... Kansas City is a base!!!!

hummm errr uhhhh ohhhh guess you ment MCO!!
 
A friend who was hired a month ahead of me (two classes) is close to holding a line in vegas. so 9-10 months, but vegas is growing and most of the other bases are shrinking.
 
So Cal...one more thing...be verrrrrrry careful in the OAK area. The airport hotels are OK...but the area leaves much to be desired.

If you leave the hotel...it is to get on the van to the airport. If you leave the van...it is to walk into the lobby to check in.

If the hotel burns up...then ...and only then can you leave the hotel.

Got it?...good....


ATTN: All SWA Newhires... this is the single best piece of advice you will ever get.
 
In OAK don't stay at the cheap hotel (can't remember the name... Super 8?) where the rooms open to the outside and the office is behind bulletproof glass. Only stay at the places with a lobby.

Oh and whatever you do don't move or make decisions on rumors. 99% never come to fruition. If they did I'd be flying 787's out of TPA overnighting in the Caribbean somewhere.

Welcome aboard.
