Yes the cane and rattle have been discontinued. A good tradition faded!

That damn baby rattle cost me about $200 in bar tab the week I had to carry it around. It was a fun game to play especially when guys would try and take it in the middle of class. That is a shame it is gone.

Someone got offended? Waaaaa, B.F.D.

Traditions are part of the culture.

Next thing you know, the welcoming party will be deemed offensive and discontinued.

I'm considering bringing a rattle and cane
(or PAMPERS and DEPENDS....or "oops-i-crapped-my-pants") to class so as to bring back such fun times...maybe that's not such a good idea.

I think I'll be the one with the rattle and Pampers to be honest....

Does anybody have an idea/ballpark estimate of the average age of the newhires lately? Is our seniority within the class based on birthdate?

The youngest in 5/14 class is 27.....the youngest the class before was 31....

I am 27. No, I'm not coming to class in via school bus.

And nevermind about bringing the Rattle and Cane....I'd be buying every night and can't afford to.

Suck it up it is comes with the job...If you can't do it for one week wait till your old enough not to have to. I think you can afford $1 beers.

They will explain all our discounts. I don't want to talk about them on the web, it may piss some people off.

Someone hand me a towel! I got the call yesterday afternoon for the June 25 class! My pool date was July 17th. Ronna also mentioned to me yesterday that there are 3 more classes planned for July. Good luck everyone.

Congrats, My buddie also got the call on Sat. 17 July SWA Poolie (CF). He too was told three classes in July as well.

Just wondering how old is this tradition? I was hired in 14 years ago and there was no such tradition. Don't start complaining about guys not carrying on a tradition that didn't even exist for the first 25 - 30 years existence of SWA.

My expereince was an email last May 1st (one year ago) inviting me to interview in June. They offered me my choice of dates out of 12 possible days. They ran interviews 4 days a week for 3 weeks in June. With the choices they gave me, I was afforded nearly 2 months to prepare and complete the necessary paperwork.

thanks for the info!

 

[Captzaahlie]

Anyone out there in the know have an idea when interviews might be extended again?
Much Thanks in advance.....
