Congrats on your new job!SFR said:Southwest is not impressing me as the days continue. I interviewed there is Nov and am still waiting. I interviewed at CAL and found out the same day that I got the job.
So they take a plane off the end and that affects the decision board about pilot hiring, obviously the head bone is connected to the hip bone for these people.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm thinking you didn't do much research into SWA to understand the hiring process. The DB is comprised of the domicile chief pilots, the Flight Ops VP, and the PD VP. If you have a fatal accident a few days before the DB, you can sure bet that those people will be VERY busy attending to details regarding the accident. Yes, it is no fun for those waiting to hear whether, or not, they are going to get hired, BUT that is peanuts considering what the company is going through right now. You may consider that a knee jerk reaction, but to me it shows a reasoned and mature prioritization of resources in a time of need. I pray your reaction to this is because you've never been around an organization that has had to react to a fatal accident. Unfortunately, I've been around too much of it in my aviation career.
I wish you good luck in which ever road you choose to follow.

SFR said:Actually I never had a girl blow me off, It is very important to maintain a rich fantasy life - good job!
You are right about me not doing a lot of prep for the interview. I wanted to go and be myself. My guess is that the letter is in the mail ...
The money is not that great!!! Honestly, $200K a year is not going to make you a fortune. You have to invest it wisely!!! I am not impressed until you can do at least a million per year. Sweet! When did CAL start paying a million a year? That is wonderfullnews ...
SFR said:Actually I never had a girl blow me off, I just pretend to not care much about them then they flock to ya!!!!!
Advice for single guys, don't try hard!!!!
As for SWA, great place, but I honestly think that someone hired right now will not have the prosperous future that has hit the guys hired in the 90s, or up until 2002/3.

SFR said:Actually I don't really care too much if they turn me down or not. Things happen how they are suppose to. Besides, it is not up to me or them if I get hired, it is up to the almighty one above us!
It is win/win SWA vs CAL, all I am saying is that a company will not make anyone happy or rich for that matter (these days). Also, SWA interview style reminds me of UAL's back in the 90s, cocky attitude. Don't get me wrong, the interview went great!!! I was not that impressed, and that is important to me.
As for 2500 pilots over the next few years, hmmmm that is what DAL said up until June 2001.
