Swa Pool

[GuppyWN]

5 jets is 55 newhires. I don't want to start a riot but I'd guess less than 100 newhires this year. I've seen 180 posted from the union but I just don't see how the math works.

Sucks for all involved.

Good luck to all. Sooner than later I hope.

That is one heck of a bubble list. Good luck! Hopefully, it is only a temp slow down and not a regression.

I feel for you guys/gals in the pool. Been there and done that (2yrs and 2mos). All I can say is, it may take you you a while to get here but once you are on the property it will be worth it. This is my only airline experience but I can tell you I have found it to be every bit as enjoyable as my military flying and much more lucrative. Keep smiling and I hope you are on board soon but don't worry SWA will get you here sooner or later.

How long ago was that 2yrs and 2mos?

In the pool March of '02 and on the property May of '04.

Reading this thead is like watching CNBC these days. Never any good news.

Just posted over $100million profit for '07 4Q.

Smart growth is better than gangbusters growth and then furloughs right?

 

[Zdriver]

Don't have to tell me that twice! Been down that road aleady! 100M that's great. It will be worth the wait to fly for a company with a real management team and not just a bunch of well dressed theifs there to pump their stock options an get out with their bags of money!

Go log in as General Lee. Your posts are at least quasi-useful when your're posting with that screen name. Or you could try JMoney, Scope Out RJs, Heavy Set, Marge, or any of your other screen names.

Psycho.

From the earnings conference call today, 29 aircraft deliveries with 22 aircraft lease returns/aircraft sales for a net aircraft increase of 7 for 2008. The part I couldn't believe was that most of the 22 returns/sales are 737-700's. I would have though the older -300's would have been gone, but I guess the -700's have more release/resale value around the world.

I wouldn't see how 7 aircraft would need 180 more pilots, but there probably is a little attrition to Fedex/UPS and a few retirements/medical outs.

Neither FedEx nor UPS were hiring, last I heard.

Supposedly sold the two "Ford" Airplanes for a profit (although they are still online as of 1/22), Cost more to convert them to SW config then what they made on the open market! It's called "Smart Money"
