Good luck to everyone...fwiw, if you don't know already, the PD really don't mind us/you calling them for updates--it's funny, they said they much rather have us call them than read all 'that internet stuff'....

Re-read his post...it says the 2 April class has THE over 60 guys...not the 2 April class has over 60 guys.

You might want to get your money back from that speed reading class you took...

Had training center person on jumpseat recently. Said 3 classes in April. the first two will be partially comprised of retreads, the third will be newhires. I asked about May and the person said there are no real plans at this time.

Whoa....whoever you were talking to isn't really in the know. 3 classes in April came out about a month (and several pages of posts) ago. Only one class of 60+ guys. The other two to be filled by poolies (myself included).

I did hear a rumor going around that the Apr 23rd class might get pushed back to the Summer. Hope it's junk...but you never know.

Here comes Debbie Downer..

Tanker was also the guy who said NO poolies would make it out of the pool this year at all.

Keep the faith guys!

Never quite said that.

Sorry for the dose of reality. Rumor has it that SWA is losing money in DEN, IAD, PHL, SFO, and get this...MDW. Everyone is getting slammed by fuel prices. The article in yesterday's USA Today said "SWA strongly hinted that operational cutbacks are likely." Translation, more slowed growth...maybe even parking jets.

It will be interesting to see how the first quarter goes. There's been a lot of talk about SWA posting a loss for the quarter.
