The word I heard today is 3 classes in Jan of 24 each. I've heard of dates, but I'll wait to see what others hear. PD had off today, but will be back tomorrow.

My guess is even with slowed growth, training will start in Jan, but probably end sometime during the year (like '07). I have no clue what will happen to interviews.

bro, no one gives a rat's @ss about your "guess." you're not even on the property and you think you're a GD expert.

My advice to you guys in the pool is to enjoy your family, friends, hobbies or whatever until your phone rings. Trying to predict if and when you will be on property is a futile effort. Relax, live your life and see what happens. I believe that the front office is reading the handwriting on the wall and is preparing the company for a coming economic downturn, recession or whatever you want to call it. I know it sucks for all of you, but the company may be better off in the future because of their caution at this time. Like many times in the past, we will be in a good position to take advantage of opportunities that may arise out of this economic cycle. But who knows, maybe oil will go back to $50 bucks (can't believe I just said that), the dollar will rebound, and all will be back on track. Time will tell. Merry Christmas!

Holy crap...chill out dude. The guy was just stating his opinion, he does have that right. My opinion is you lack female companionship and the 'Don't ask Don't tell' didn't work for ya......

Hate to tell you "I told you so", but, I told you so. Sorry guys. Wish I was wrong. Looks like other carriers are trimming domestic capacity and looking at losses. I'm sure they'll have to hire a few folks in '08.

Yes, you can be my beotch....

For the record, I think everyone should know that Ballgag and jke496 recently broke up. It's been hard on both of them...I said "hard on"....uh huh huh huh.

Keep the faith

Hey guys consider this,

In the past, other majors have continued to interview, hire and train at full throttle all the way up to the date they learn the economy is tanking. Resulting in large furloughs. This is not the SWA way. And we (poolies) are better off for it.

Wouldn't you rather be in the pool and continue working at your present job, (saving for first year pay, enjoying senority, etc.) and begin training at SWA when things turn around, without fear of a furlough.

As a 6-20 poolie I know the excitement of getting the call, anticipating an early '08 class date and suffering with bad news on top of bad news. We will all get there. It may be take a while. But working for SWA will undoubtably be worth it.

Keep the faith. We are in good hands with SWA management.

What's wrong General? Jealous it takes a double dose of Viagra to get one? I see your trolling the SWA threads looking for a pick me up since the gloomy DAL news came out?

 

[Embry Ace]

This really pains me to say this, but I'm sorry Tanker Clown. You were right on this one. Looks like we don't have to worry about interviewing next year. I'm sure it'll come around eventually.

 

[Tanker Clown]

I hope this is a small hicup. At least SWA has been predicting this since the summer. You could be a poolie (or interviewee) for a hire till your furlough...furlough till you hire airline like some of the legacies.

Who knows what will happen though. Maybe oil drops like a rock, Delta goes back into Ch 11 and gets bought by SWA, and the General/737 Pylt end up throwing gear in LBB for SWA/FO.

Looks like poor spanker clown will still be on the outside looking in. Maybe your job servicing the troops will keep you employed!:laugh: Just keep those knee pads clean sport!

Actually, I'll be spending my time at the tanker clown trailer giving to the needy! After all, you're just a tanker puke making less than a regional pilot!

I'm not sure how I compare to a RJ capt as far as pay...but I probably make more in the AF than a Delta FO...since you guys took pay cuts. By the way, after you post a loss for the quarter, how much will you guys give up this time?

You made it sound like Ch 11 was great for your 401K last time you guys went through. Looks like your retirement will do even better on your next trip through BK. Good luck. I'll make sure to wear a jimmy...I'm not sure your health plan (after you guys give it up...along with pay cuts) will pay for your wife to have another one of my kids. Besides, after you downsize from your ATL duplex to an ATL apartment it will be pretty crowded.

Wondering if we could keep this thread on subject, it was/is a good thread but is deteriorating quickly.
