SWA Hiring?

[Cpt Splash]

Any Idea if there is an update on hiring, or if SWA is gonna re-exam adding aircraft to the fleet? It seems as though they will exit the year in the black and with the recent expansion in certain markets, it seems as though they may be poised to grow.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it will be a while before we hire.

rumor has it we are 400 over staffed and they are throwing the F- word out a lot to get us to vote the new TA in. Once age 65 kicks in in a couple of years...we should beat par.

I also believe we have around 200 waiting in the pool for class dates.

Better hurry and buy that 73 type just in case.

SWA won't be hiring until 2012 to 2013. My friend told me that they are much closer to a furlough than hiring. I guess if things stay the same in the economy, that this time next year, guys will be getting the bad news.

What's the scoop with the TA. Did you guys vote yet? Sorry, got a new office job and I'm not paying much attention these days to FI.

Vote closes on 1 Nov. It'll pass.

Right on, hope it is good for you guys. If it has any pay raises or better quality of life, you guys are in good shape considering the shape of the aviation industry.

I dont think so.

I'd be very surprised if we furloughed.
They've been talking about it forever.
I'm going to bet (hope?) no furlough.

Well the email from Carl said nothing for at least 12 months regarding the F word. So if he says it it must be true....just like TA1 was a good deal and to vote Yes.

Talk to one of are FA union reps the other day, and they have not said one thing about the f word. They are 700-1000 Fa's fat. but what helps off set that is thier new sick policy. I guess after thier TA passed they have about 700 sick calls a day. That would suck if we do get laid off. Oh well guess I'll go back to flying biz jets.

I'd like to publicly thank Parker for my free 737-300 type before he furloughed.
(AQP @ Airways is a good thing......)
I'll be ready if SWA ever starts interviewing again.....

To all my SWA friends good luck with the vote!
