SWA March class?

[w8n4swa]

another list sent in sunday...

Hey Pegasus,

Congrats....you now have the honor of holding the pole position on the new list, which I sent in on the 16th and should be posted soon. Your followed by Redneck, Bambam, AJ, etc... Hope to fill your class slots shortly!!

Other news: We've recently lost 2 swimmers from our pool....one at the deep end and the other in the shallow end. Perhaps the water is getting a bit cold!

Hang in there everyone....

Wow! I am feeling old! No:1 on the list? Thank you, thank you. I can't tell you how happy I am to accept the prime slot. Thanks to my wife, for being there, and my kids for never telling anybody I wasn't a pilot.
I'd rather be here than over there. And everybody has to be somewhere.
Also noticed that I am a SENIOR Member.

Pegasus, there are truly few who are worthy to hold your position. Times like this, more than any other, call for poetry.
You have the right to do this because of your great seniority. You have the obligation to as our leader.
Poetry, poetry. It sooths the soul....

 

[pegasus]

You asked for it

Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
Well, actually, I haven't for ages,
Nor have I danced with silver edged clouds etc,
But I am number 1
So maybe I will soon.



Sorry it didn't rhyme. Ran out of rhyming juice.

I talked to LL today for my monthly call in...and she said that I would probably make it to the next class.


However she said that the March class was doubtful at best.....


good news and bad news all in one phone call.....I guess....





fingers crossed and keeping the faith

ditto - talked with LL and she confirmed that things are doubtful for a Mar class - this war thing makes things too uncertain.

Did LL say that the impending war is the reason for no March class? I wonder how much the world situation is impacting the business plan for SWA? Did LL say anything about April?

Who again is LL? I have only worked with Jan Ruley.

 

[Maynard]

It'll be okay...

Hang in there!!! Plans are to hire 600+ next year. If I can handle a commute from DAL to OAK to sit reserve, anyone can. It will be worth it. Plus, it really IS a great job.
Just my two pennies...

I was told that they bring on 12 pilots per airplane...

Just talked to LL

Just got off the phone to LL a few minutes ago, and here's what she said:

1. A March class is not likely due to the current Gulf conditions. Playing the "wait and see" game.

2. I should be in the 4th class from now. (On our unoffical list I'm currently at #60.)

3. That 4th class could quite likely be the last class for the year!!!

4. All classes are currently expected to be done in the 1st half of the year.

5. She mentioned a total of 140 new people for the year.

I took careful notes and that is exactly what she said. Of course things can always change. Thought yall might want to know.
