[BMW]

Sounds good to me! What was the source?

 

[SWA/FO]

Source is = Me (I work here)

Actually, a MDW Chief said "hey did you see that memo on the bullentin board...looks like they have some firm dates for some classes" I said "really!" then I walked over to the bullentin board and read the memo.

I then ran to the CPU to pass along all the good news, to yall..:nuts:

Hey Rotorhead,
Go hump someone else’s leg over on the Non-Av forum and leave us to our celebration--ain’t been much good news lately and this is d@mn fine news! SWA/FO, you made my day/night/week/month/year!

 

[SWA/FO]

Last I got from the PD a couple weeks ago was 150 in the pool.

Were/are there any classes for October?

 

[L'il J.Seinfeld]

I interviewed 6/21 and got the call to continue in July. Does anyone know the earliest interview date for those in the pool?

72G--I believe there have not been any classes since Aug, but I could be wrong.

Do you know how that 150 breaks down over the last several D.B.'s?

That's what I thought, but I heard (some where on this board) that calls were going out for an Oct class.

I'm not sure of the break down. I have a couple buddies that interviewed in April, only one of them was given an offer for the August class.

 

[str8upflyrght]

i had a friend who interviewed in may and is in the pool. shouldn't take too long to get caught up.

 

[Tail Rotorhead]

I love SWA/FO and am just bustin his b***s. Relax.

 

[CF34-3B1]

Thanks for the info SWAFO!!

 

[SWA/FO]

SWA/FO is happy!

 

[whiff]

anyone getting a call?

Anybody heard of any calls going out for a Nov. ground school?

 

[Headfake14]

whats the hiring projection for 2006. How many to be hired? did the storms and the boeing strike have a noticible effect?

 

[Benhuntn]

SWA Fuel/oil hedging

Naive question here, but what is the status on on SWA fuel hedging? Word has it that SWA bought/hedged their fuel when it was at $25/barrel, and that that deal is good til fall 2006. Does anyone know the facts on that and what happens, if it is true, when the hedge runs out? Is SWA going to be like the legacy carriers crying that they need big pay cuts or they'll go bankrupt?

 

[Benhuntn]

There has been plenty of discussion on this for the past few months... I don't carry the exact numbers in my head but we are hedged at 85% at I believe 35.00 for 06 and we have some hedges out to 09. We will probably give big pay cuts and go bankrupt....

 

[Benhuntn]

In case you are wondering I am yanking you chain on the bankrupt...we will be the last dog in the fight..

 

[SWA/FO]

Expect a bankruptcy filing by the end of the year

 

[nosartoofar]

Any info on Nov - Dec interviews?

 

[PAPA FOX!]

In case you are wondering I am yanking you chain on the bankrupt...we will be the last dog in the fight..

If you are camping with a group of your buddies and a bear chases after the group all you have to do is to be the fastest runner of your buddies even if the bear is faster than YOU!

got class date

I posted on another thread last week, but have update.
Interviewed 05/25, called with "Go ahead" on 06/07, called for 11/16 class on 10/17.
Only 3 from my interview were called in June, that I know of.
A very positive attitude, alot of patience, and even more trust that this is what the Man Upstairs had in mind for me, I am leaving 14 1/2 yrs at a major and very psyched about "Learning to LUV" the SWA way!
Congrats to all in the pool, and to all other interviewees, never ever give up on your dream.
If you really want it, it will happen.
Thanks again to Mark for this great forum.
