Are you ********************ing kidding me? You mean the contract that opened the gates for outsourcing and RJs. The one that made a few senior guys rich while screwing everyone that came after them not just at DAL but in the entire industry? That one?

Wise up bro.

All the SWA guys are too busy either A) enjoying their Summer days off or B) too busy flying their ass off b/c they are short at the moment !!

I think their earning results will be excellent this week.

Sadly, I fear they will grow capacity and not fleet size. This may keep us swimming for a little bit longer. We shall see, I hope I am wrong.

Quarterly numbers come out July 29th. That may shed some light on how things are going.

Things are going great. The numbers coming out this week will be some of the best ever from what we're hearing. With that said, there still won't be any new classes for this year, and I'm starting to hear that there may not be any next year either. Hopefully the second part changes and we do some modest hiring next year. Until Age 65 kicks in though, I don't forsee much in the way of hiring, they will just continue to do more with less.

Past numbers may be great, however it's the future numbers management and the street are concerned about. There is less clarity and more uncertainty about the future economy than there has ever been. We may just be OK, but as Obama, Pelosi, and Reid decide to engage in all out class warfare, unemployment will stagnate and discretionary and business travel will suffer.

Blowout quarter numbers coming out on Thurs.

Possible classes spring of 2011.

That's what I've been trying to tell you guys. 2012 is the most likely time that any hiring will be done.

The oracLes has spoken!! This should end all discussion on this matter!!!!

Flying with a interview team member. Sounds like 2 classes possible in Oct. Folks in pool will be "interviewed" again, not to see if they would fit the SWA model, they have already done that. It is to make sure nothing has changed since they were put in the pool. Take it for what it is worth.

They've continued to tell us over and over again how overstaffed we will be after Labor Day, and you think we're going to run new classes going into the slowest part of the year so that we are even MORE overstaffed? Sorry, I'm just not seeing it.
