SWA "dings" up 321M profit!

You might be making dough.....

But at the end of the day....

You are still a "Pay for Training" company

What's the point? I'm really trying to figure out this whole pay for training deal! Are you really that unhappy with your life or is there some point you're trying to make, but don't know the English language well enough to put it into words? If someone wishes to pay for training in order to land a job with the best damn company in the industry why would you have a problem with that? Unless you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth then I would guess you've paid for training at some point in your life? Just trying to understand this shallow point of view?

I see your background. Looks like the american taxpayer paid for your tickets. You have probably never seen the inside of a C-152 or a C-172. You have paid the due's I see.

Yep, you stopped it alright. All us SWA folks are going to hang our heads low and cry in our beer. You did it, single handed. You stopped us, be proud. What a stud you are. Gotta go now, your wife's calling.

Nowhere does it say that you must have paid for the type out of your own pocketbook to work at SWA. They just require it before class starts. I know of several people that did not pay one dime for their 737 type that work here.

Okay, here is your chance.

Exactly what training did I pay for at SWA?

 

[ASADFW7]

If an airline requires a four year college degree is that a pay for training requirement as well? Qualifications can be in different areas. This pay for training argument is not something I completely follow, this isn't Ameriflight or Gulfstream. Yet, we do not look at the foreign pilots that come over as PFT pilots in a negative light.

ASADFW7,

Did you PFT at ASA?

Thanks for proving your a flaming hypocrite rajflyboy. You paid for your C152/172 training right? Thats pay for training based on your own definition.

Geez...where do you get this "Pay for Training" mumbo-jumbo?

When I started at SWA, they didn't require me to bring a check...or a cash...for my first day of training.

First of all you're wrong again; had a few hundred hours of light aircraft time before I went to pilot training. As far as paying my dues, never mind, something you could never understand! Since you seem to know so much about so many things and people, what in the h-ll are you doing in the aviation industry when you could make so much more money doing all the things you know so much about?

Yawn, SSDD. Another loser spouting the same BS I've been reading here for 6 1/2 years.

 

[ASADFW7]

I went to ASA in 2001, they did not require pay for training. I do not remember when they phased that out.

 

[FlyinGuy]

Raj, I paid for it out of my own pocket and it cost me about 8 grand. Wow...Now I work for the best airline in the world and I am not sure how to spend all this money!!! Call me what ever you want to..........
