Staying in OAK

The problem in Oakland is that the newhires get the hardlines for their first month and then typically get out of dodge ASAP. Thus even though you may have over 30-40 people beneath you, you have the constant rotation of newhires during the wave of newhire training artificially keeping you in the flow for Reserve lines.
On the plus side, the chance for a drive by shooting or carjacking is way up!
 
Congrats to the 7th new hire class this year. Keep them coming.

(May 28th Class)

Day 1 down (pretty much all paperwork); 6 weeks to go. So far it's been a GREAT experience!!

For the guys in the June 4th class, is it true you're staying at the Renaissance hotel?? (Start'n to plan the party!)
 
Any calls for the June 28th class? Any word on July classes. How long out are guys getting called for class? Pool date July 26th. Thank you.
 
What does a typical new hire reserve schedule look like at SWA? Is there good trip variety (1,2,3, day trips)? Are you able to trade trips fairly easily?

Reserve Lines have 15 days of work each month. It doesn't matter how long the month is. So sometime you get 16 days off, sometimes 15. Reserve Lines are a variety of 3-day Reserve periods and 4-day Reserve periods. Minimum days off between Reserve periods is three days.
 
When I got my call Friday evening for the June 18 class, Ronna said I slid into class after some folks deferred or declined. I got the feeling that I was the last one to make it in.

I haven't heard anything official about July classes yet. Hopefully they run three more so I can get to East coast ASAP. :D

I hate to burst your bubble, but I have had 3 classes start behind us in 2007, plus the 7this yr thus far and the best I can do is PHX OR LAS (pending July vacancy result today or tomorrow), with my top choice being MCO. The thing you have going for you is a slowing in the rate at which Vegas will be staffed. Good luck...
