That is good to know. I could do that.
How long is the GS and the oral portion?

I think the whole thread has been a joke started by General Less, and his alter-ego screen name. The responses coming out of that man assures me that he has no place at SWA, nor should he ever think of working here. General Loss just put one by for the past 9 pages. uke:

[ACL65PILOT]

Who me 32.

 

[SWA/FO]

Just wondering dude.. You need to go where the cash is flowing and doesn't stop flowing.

I have set up the interview at LUV. We will see if I get the nod the first time around.

Even I know you guys fly, on average, more legs than 3 legs a day. I talked to a friend of mine and his 4 day had 5 legs the first day, 5 on the second, 2 on the third which still had 7.5 hours, and 5 on the last day. He said he was exhausted. You can't fool anyone, you guys work the hardest. GL isn't lying.

I am sure your friend flew as he told you. I did NOT say we didn't have days with 5 or more legs. I said the system average is 3.

Here is the data from our February union rag comparing this January stats to the last 5 Januarys:


System wide legs/day 2007 3.02 Last 5 Jans 3.09
Scheduled days/month 2007 12.98 Last 5 Jans 13.13
Block hrs/day 2007 6.44 Last 5 Jans 6.42


So ON AVERAGE, a line at SWA will work 13 days, block about 82 hours, and average 3 legs a day. Obviously, a brand new guy or the Dallas based guys will have a worse schedule, but seniority seems to come pretty quickly here.

Fly safe.

Wouldn't believe you have any friends outside of a 900 number but who knows. As far as GL, he is about the biggest moron ever to type on a message board. He talks about SWA, yet spits out some incredibly stupid tirade that is so far from the reality at SWA, it doesn't even resemble Southwest or the work here. You would have to define "works the hardest" for me as I don't consider 12 days a month work. If it is the flying then I don't consider 7-9 hour duty days much work either. Word of advice, next time you think someone works to hard think about the guy who is a DJ at a strip bar. His buddies probably lambaste him for working until 2 AM.

Man that strip bar gig is tough! You also have to come up with your own catchy phrases like:

-"Remember gentlemen, each and everyone of these girls is available for your very own fantasy dance"

-"The touch and go policy is in effect...you touch you go"
