And that's good news on hiring)

 

[Crash Pad]

Anyone know the post merger hiring total on the SWA side?

 

[waveflyer]

God, it's got to be in the 700-800 range now right- once all this announcement is done
+/-

It's a good question

 

[DUBLINFLYER]

The latest number from DAL this week is 500 new hires - something big is going to happen- stay tuned.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

500 this year? Since hiring started last year? In addition to what has already been hired?

I'm asking about 2010 vs today. Right after the announcement SWA did 200ish? 400 in 2014 (is that right)? 2013 I think there was a 200. It all blurs together and five years is longer on the memory than it used to be.

The number in my head is 600 but Waves 800 also sounds good. Just trying to guess percentages, reserve time, 2015 fantasy base draft etc. Kind of shocked no one knows to the number because during the SLI seniority seemed to be really important to people.

If you are a SWA or Airtran pilot log onto www.myseniority.com It tells you your number and % on the combined list and your % in every SWA base. You can even dream a little and play around with hypothetical growth numbers and it will tell you when you will upgrade. It was created by an Airtran guy and any SWA or Airtran pilot can use it for free. It was just updated with current numbers.

I don't think it is up to date with all the new hires but it will still give you a good idea of where you stand.

My seniority shows us at 7944 pilots on the graph thingy. I looked at the master list posted 1/9/13 which has all hires as of 3/14/12 which is 7965. In 2013 were there any more classes? In 2014 is the rumor still 500?

Like going to Hawaii?

Buy Alaska?

Or maybe use the new guys as fodder during the slow moving section six, just like good old Randy is used too. HHFH

Go buy your type???

Go buy your type???

Better than wearing that coat.

 

[redflyer65]

Tanker,

Get it right. It's a double breasted riverboat jacket.

Don't forget the hat!

 

[dalad]

Better than wearing that coat.

I don't. I went to Jos A. Bank and bought a Murano wool overcoat on sale, $170/ reg $450. At least I'm now looking like a fancy pervert in the winter. The horse blanket stays in my closet where it belongs.

 

[b737jock]

have the calls started to go out for this round yet?

 

[Tripower455]

Thought that pay for type nonsense was over since the Air Tran purchase.

SW has never required anyone to pay for a type.....

 

[Oh-ryan]

What are the combined list retirement numbers for the next few years?

 

[T-1GUY]

How does reserve for a new hire work at Southwest?

 

[redflyer65]

Usually 17 days off (based on how many days are in the month), and a three on, four off, four on, three off schedule.

Hard to pickup on days off, but it can be done and it will be above guarantee.

 

[t-bone]

Any word on calls from this recent window?

 

[T-1GUY]

Interviews next week. Emails went out.

Wearing that coat costs me nothing....and you on the other hand....
(psst...leather jackets are so cool...makes ya look all heroic and whatnot)

Not all wear leather coats. Ya gotta be RSW for that

Not as hard to pick up on a reserve line now that the FAA has made the operation safer with 117!!

And yet the majority did have to. Ironic, eh?
