I fully disclosed any skeleton or any information that SWA wanted during my interview. If there was something I lie or was fishy... the background check back in March of 2007 would have disclosed all that. If I did something I shouldn't have I would like to know myself. At this point I have no clue as to how SWA come under this decision? If SWA told me upfront what I did was not acceptable and I knew what it was and agreed with them... I would of gladly excuse myself. We are all grown ups, no need to hide or make excuses.
 
One thing to remember is that you are not hired until you walk into the training center on day one. They make it clear in their correspondence that you are a prospective employee. Anything can change. Sorry that happened to you.
 
Just got the call for a May 14th class date! Hope to hear more good news from fellow Poolies, too! :beer:

Yes true but they do bear some responsibility. For instance if he did pass all his background checks in Mar 07 and then went and got his type in Jun 07 to 'continue into the pool' (which is required), then they later delet him from the pool, they would be an easy target for a lawsuit for him to at least get back his 8 grand for getting a type. He obviously wouldn't have gotten the type w/o the pending job offer because he interviewed w/o it.
 
I disagree with you matrix. They are very clear that you are not an employee until you are on the property. They do not owe you anything. They also require an ATP, but they are not responsible for the cost of that ticket.
 
There has to be more to the story? I don't think they would send him a letter for offer of employment (contingent on getting the type in 6 months), send him letters and magazines every month and then suddenly when his time is up and he's due for a class, they yank him out of the pool because somebody said something bad about him. There has to be more to this.......I agree that until you get a number you are not an employee, but they have also made a conditional offer of employment to him, and I've NEVER heard of anything like this before. SWA does not have a reputation for doing harm to people, they treat all of their employees, including poolies, very very well.
