SWA new hire first day?

[MLBWINGBORN]

No..Thats not what i said..

What i said was that if you are buying a new bag and have a choice between a 8 incher and a 7 incher go with the 7 because it will be much easier to work with..

I have a 8 incher and i wish i had a 7 because its a real pain to get in and out..But..It still works..

Most of the guys that have the bigger bags have flown the RJ or the bigger Boeings that have a lot more room..

If you already have a $350 bag that you cant take back dont sweat it..Just work with it as i have..

But..When my PNT 8 incher gives up the ghost i will not be getting another..

Wheew, even though it's three years old its new and I don't feel like shelling out cash for another "flight kit." Guess I'll get some "KY" and lub it up real good.

For guys who don't have a brain bag yet, one of the options when you get to the schoolhouse is to buy a bag from the SWA Uniform Store. The store mostly deals with the flight attendant & ground ops uniforms, not ours, but they sell a nylon flight bag with the SWA logo & your name embroidered on it for something like $65. It's light, it's small, everything you need fits in it, and while it won't last for a 20 year career, it's a viable inexpensive option. (And if you're as rough on a bag as I am, buying one of those every 2-3 years will be a cheaper option than replacing a beat-to-%#$@ leather bag every 5-6 years!)

Until you're on the line, ANY size/shape of helmet bag/brain bag/catalog case will work fine hauling books to class & the sim briefing room (you only take the pages you'll need into the simulators), so there is ample time to decide what you want & order it... no hurry at all on that score.

Cheers,

Furlough baby...

Hey Lucky,

Congrats! As a fellow member of the furlough baby club (my wife's furlough, not mine) I commend you on a job well done. Our little girl, our third baby but first girl, is an absolute joy and quite a silver lining. Looking forward to the stogie, if we end up in Dallas at the same time.

Cheers!
