Swa hiring 140 pilots

[pilotgolfer]

thanks for the info golfer. Guess better catch up the logbook. Again.

The application is extremely generic. It screens from your resume so there is no break down of flight time in the application. I think they send an application supplement to those chosen to interview which goes into much more detail.

Buddy don't fault SWA for the AAI MEC leadership and the reality that this integration is not fair. As a SWA pilot ... bend over.... and .... welcome to the new reality.

Nope just for class, its on the qualifications part of the app. Although I don't know anyone last time around that got an interview that didn't have the type.........

Resume'

This may be a dumb question but would you submit an original resume' or use the resume' wizard on the website? I don't have the 737 type rating so I'm a long shot anyway but it's hard to justify spending almost $7,000 for a maybe.

Are you Stupid or something? .

Wow! That's funny, one of the 12 angry men calling me stupid.

They are to convert the 717s to SWA also, so from what I understand the 717s start going over to SWA in 1/2013 and the pilots along with it. The planes have to be painted I guess along with 5 days of training if u stay on it. Scheduled to be complete by April 2014.

It will be like Green 737s and 717s on the AAI side, and there will be Brown 737s and 717s on the SWA side during the transition. The 12/2014 is a deadline for pay and going under SWA contract. And for the airplanes, but they can get an extend on that if management asks the union for it.

Unfortunately ther will always be some AT pilots who cling to how the game was officiated versus what the final score was. Truth be told, I as an AT pilot am richer today due to this deal. It settled our contract renewal with a pay raise and at some point all of us will be on SWA pay rates. Folks still bitching bout AIP1 when there was a real chance SWAPA would have voted it down. Instead of counting the pennies others are making , calculate how much better you have done since Sept 2010 and how much better you will do in 2015 or sooner. Thats real. The rest is just whining. Enough with the whining.

If you have to whine. Whine about commuting or reserve. But the money?

No matter what, you will be in a much better place. Are we perfect? No. But you will see the difference.
