Congrats Obadie,

Careful on who you cut out of the list. capt1900 has a class date, and the #'s were all out of whack. In the interest of accuracy, and keeping to the spirit of the original thread, I took the liberty of putting the 4/23 poolies back in. This day and age, you never know what can happen. I didn't relax until I signed on on day 1.

To all that will be in the upcoming class and the future classes... Congrats!

I waited 12 months in the Pilot pool for the hope to be in the upcoming May class, or any class at SWA for that matter. I thought that I had good character with good solid background, and a person who is a good aviator and a person who strive to be honorable.

Today, I was told by the head of pilot recruitment (after a week of waiting from PD to find out my status at SWA in regards to the May classes) that the offer of employment by SWA is no longer valid! Due to background check indicating that I was not a good person to fly with...

I want to thank my friend at SWA who recommended me, the support by the people in the current pilot pool, and the great support of the SWA pilots who support all of us in the pilot pool by providing us information and encourage the people in the pool to be patient and be possitive.

It is easy for me to say that I am a good person and a fun person to fly with. It is harder for people who do not know me to believe what I say is true or to have proof of who I am as a person.

To the person or people who said bad things about me that causes by current situation. All I can say is that you are wrong.

My good buddy, who is in the same pool date as I was. I want to wish him a wonderful career at SWA and have a great time in training.

Best of careers to all of you.

Similar thing happened to me 5+ years ago, Even Got drug tested then "No"...They always say you can call and they'll tell you but I never got anything out of them, Then find out CP had bad mouthed about everyone that they called about over a length of time. Not necessarily "Bad Mouthed" but just didn't know how to answer the questions...There is a difference! I was hired 5+ years later and the CP is still there BUT a line guy. I WAS EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHO I LISTED AS CONTACTS (Which CP), Know who thinks what about you and get background checks done before you start interviewing, Would have saved me a lot of heartache.

BUT there is hope, Don't give up on SW, You may be shocked that it may work out later, I WAS!

Good Luck,
KBB
 
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.

That's not comparable. My ATP ride was free, I did it during a 135 check ride way back.
Some airlines require a 4 year degree and I don't expect them to pay for that. This is a very specific requirement, hence when they went to 'you can get the type after the interview but w/in 6 months', my argument is very valid. Consult a lawyer if need be, there are plenty out there.
 
Congrats to all and I hope the calls keep coming. Just remember whatever you do DO NOT BUY A HAT!!! I say again

DO NOT BUY A HAT!!!!
 
Avatar for sale....CHEAP!!!

I got the call yesterday. Best of luck to everyone.

-Void.

I talked to PD today (RJ). I typed on August 5, 2007 so that is my pool date.....I wanted to make sure they still had me in there....

The update she gave was as follows:

Filling the May classed as we speak...one tenative class each month for August, September, and October.

She said it looks like an August 5th 2007 pool date would be 5 classes after the May class.

She also said they only plan month to month so all can change either way...

For what it is worth...

I think I will try the back float for a while......
