SWA Pool III

>>>It was ONE new hire pilot that was given THREE chances to shut his mouth. <<

Any of his classmates (former I guess) on here who can tell us what sort of idiot he was and what sort of things he was doing?

I know the dude. Nice guy, kinda quite. Well respected at Express. Flew with him back in the day... No idea what went wrong. I'm sure there is more to the story than what is out, always is.

 

[ballgag]

I hear he came from Express. Man, you don't see military guys getting bounced like that.

Of course not, there too busy figuring out how to talk to other people and read jepps.....

 

[Tanker Clown]

I'm just saying....I'm not suprised he came from a civilian background. Military guys have bearing.

What's bearing?

 

[JumpJetter]

a man of military bearing
a regal bearing
this has no bearing on the matter
a bearing of 15°
he tormented her beyond bearing
I lost my bearings

 

[GoodTimes]

Can someone be born with bearing, or do they have to go through army training to get it? Once you get it, does it wear off, or do you keep it for the rest of your life?

 

[JumpJetter]

Well, you certainly can't get it in Army training. Marine training, yes.

Oh come on Army dawgs I'm just kiddin'

From an official source this morning:

There were two 'let go' from that class . . . one civilian, one military (sorry Clown). This is highly unusual . . . normally one every couple of years.

550-ish newhires this year (that would mean roughly 300 more after tomorrow's class. Three classes confirmed for August.

115 flights/day in DEN by Nov.

So one can actually lose his bearing? Tricky stuff TC.

For those in the deep end of the pool still keeping track, I got called today for the Aug 6th class with a 9/30 pool date.
