Swa Pool 2

[THEPRFCT10]

Where's 406 coming from and why all the smack talk? Did a SWA jet run over his dog or something?

I can't tell much about him/her from all those super witty, knee slapping answers on his profile.


Hey 10...any news from the PD today?

Not yet.....Diane & Ronna said that we should get the 'offical' phone call this week---they just have to talk to all the deferred folks to see when they can make it so they can get an accurate count on each class then they'll place all the poolies accordingly and finally call us!!!!!! I'll post as soon as I hear from them.

Actually the VA paid for 60% of mine, so I will thank you the American taxpayer. This sucker only paid $2800 for his. One application, one interview and one job. Without a doubt it was worth it.

Nice job!

If you can take out a VA loan to do something about that arrogance, you may want to look into it.

I didn't go to Higher Power. I couldn't believe how many people actually went there because they thought it gave them an "In" with SWA.

For all of you guys waiting to start class it is well worth the wait. I hope you get the phone call for class soon.

With the VA benefits (not a loan) at 60%, the cost for the Type at HPA comes out to approx $2940. Not a big diff in $$.

If pilots are willing to attend job fairs to get 'face time' with a recruiter or chat up an HR person, that same function can be had at HPA, with fourteen pilots versus several hundred. Better odds to 'make the connection'? You decide. Do SWA Pilot Recruitment personnel come and visit each class? Every week. Does HPA host SWA Open Houses? Yes. And provide Type Training as a door prize? I saw it happen.

Any Type school will get you what you need. Go where you want to, get out of it what you need. I was a post-interview 'prehire'. Squadron WN pilots recommended HPA for the training, environment, and the proximity--driving distance of four hours. I was happy with my choice. YMMV.

Good luck to all the shallow-end poolies awaiting the short call! Those of us a little deeper in are happy to see you get up on the pool deck. Now stop snapping those towels at each other and dry off.

HPA should pay you for that ad.

HPA should pay you for that ad.

Hey, let me tell you about this neat hat they got for me! It only cost... $2940, after gov't rebate!

 

[BlueandWhite]

Only $2398 for me at FTI (hat included). Jke's tax dollars helped to cover the rest. Thanks, dude!

 

[THEPRFCT10]

Does anyone know how many 'deferrees' there currently are? Just wondering...didn't think it would be appropriate to ask the PD?! I think that's what takes a while--trying to see those who deferred a class in the past have to be given the invitation first before the poolies! Good luck to everyone---here's to going to class soon (we hope!)

 

[jke406]

I heard there were three defer-ees.

Two of them died of kool-aid poisoning.

 

[Tanker Clown]

jke, you gonna get furloughed coming up here when Delta parks their RJs?
