the phone rang...I've been junior manned?!

Number came up restricted.......My heart started beating uncontrollably and I picked it up. Could it be LUV? Was the mother ship calling for me? It was my current company telling me I had been junior assigned. It took me about another 5 minutes to get my heart rate back under control. My pump can't take many more of those.
 
Me too. Had a unknown call come in with an unknown number from Nevada. I thought Nevada, thats where Las Vegas is located. Maybe its one of the chief pilots calling me. The heart rate jumps and crap it was an exterminator company. My phone hasn't left my site.

OH, then I remembered there is no Vegas Cheif Pilot or even a Vegas base.

Today is DB+day 2.

I am all excited do we know for sure that the board met on Columbus Day. The suspense is killing me?!
 
Had a "Unknown" number come up today as well. It was Sandra from the PD giving me my Nov 8th class.

Keep the faith guys. My I suggest lots and lots of Mountain Dew. Good luck to all of you in the "Waiting to hear" phase. It's brutal.

congrats 328 dude

That is awesome about your Nov. Class date. I know from the board that you have been swimming in the pool for a couple of weeks. How was pool nice and cozy I can only imagine!
 
I got the call!!!

Dudes.............I just got the call from the Oakland Chief Pilot. My interview date was 21 Sep. Good luck to the rest of you!!!

Now excuse me while I douse myself with champagne.
 
Woooohoooohoohoooo!

*ahem* pardon me.. what I meant to say was that I got the call 1.5 hours ago! September 21 interview date. Good luck everyone!!! *Crosses his fingers for the guys waiting for the phone to hatch*
 
Congrats guys. WOW calls from the September 21 interview. What happened to the Sept. 7th interviews?

Hey guys, what time zone ya in, and I don't suppose your last names start with an "A" do they?
 
How exciting!!!!!

The calls have started YEEEEEEHAAAAAAA! I am so happy for all that have gotten the phone call. This is certainly a life changing experience and a great future that you have worked hard for. More importantly you are great people that will let the awesome LUV culture live on!!!!
 
Texas 05'

At the interview I told them how happy I was that Texas won the national Championship after they beat us earlier this year. A couple of the interviewers in the LOI gave me some tough love, afterwards but said they liked the tie and shouted Go Horns! as they left the room. Was i heckled at the interview? HA!HA!

Can the ones who get the calls please leave the time and who called you as well as what date you interviewed? I know how about some peanuts and cotton candy while your at it. Thank you in advance for your time!!!!

First inital of the last name would be nice as well... Sitting on pins & needles here since mine is near the end of the alphabet! :eek:
 
Hyperboy, I was called by the Phoenix Chiefs Office at 1832 Central time. I was so stunned that about half of the stuff he told me went right on by... you know, little important things.. LIKE HIS NAME! Gah! I'm such a bone head... I do know for certain that it was a PHX chief, but beyond that, it's pretty much a blurr. He also stated that they did get some extra airplanes, and they would be doing some additional hiring before the end of the year. He told me to expect a class sometime after the first of the year. Really nice guy... told me I could call the chief's office anytime if I had any questions.. sounded genuinely happy to be calling me and welcoming me to the company. Man, I wish I could remember his name... I'd like to send him a huge thank you card.

My info: Regional guy, no military, 10k total time, four types (including 737), ex-checkairman, interviewed on Sept. 21, Last name starts with "D", 6'2", 220 lbs, no hair, blue eyes, MWC.

I've got my fingers crossed for you, Hyperboy! (and everyone else sitting on the phone, waiting for it to hatch).

I can't believe the day has finally come.. I got my 737 type in 1991, and interviewed with SWA my first time in 1993... way back when I was young and good looking (now I'm just good looking)... It's been a long road, and I'm soooo excited to have gotten that phone call... I'm still thinking it must have been a dream.

Let the phone calls keep a comin'!!!
