I'm hearing different. My buddy is waiting for a class and he said that the Sep classes aren't confirmed and they may get cancelled. His buddy (who's a check airman) also heard from the PD that this was in anticipation of a "big announcement." And the company is saying that it is in anticipation of a Air Tran merger. (Many SWA execs have been seen in Atlanta recently). So, classes may be a little sketchy for a while.
I'm hoping to get on with Air Tran before any merger since getting stapled to SWA wouldn't be the worst thing.
Calls have already gone out for 2 sept classes so those classes are confirmed. There is rumor of maybe a class in Oct but that one has not been confirmed. Once you get the call you are required to send them a fax of your resignation letter with your CPs fax number on it....These aren't the kind of people that would ask you to quit your current job and then pull the rug out from underneath you..
also i havent heard anything about the company saying anything about a big announcement or an airtran merger nor would i expect to...rumors at best IMO...GoodLuck with your decision
