just fixing numbers while I continue to tread.

I guess three classes in Jan ain't gonna happen.

Anyone?

Just wondering if anyone has 'considered' putting apps elsewhere while in the pool. . .again, just wondering?! Happy New Year!

I'm sure you poolies have heard, but the 60+ crowd already has begun re-applying to SWA. Any word from the PD on how that is going to be handled? I hope you guys don't lose your pool standing, because you guys have remained steadfast on this board. Happy New year folks, and hope to see you sooner rather than later...

 

[mach zero]

From what I have heard, there are 14 apps on file from retired CA's. I have heard no official information about what will be done with them.

We had the manager of hiring on the J/S recently. As of a couple of weeks ago, he said we were still looking at placing around 150ish from the pool in class this year. He said if we interview in '08 it won't be until late summer or fall at the earliest.

Hope this helps...

Eh...I thought those that had already retired were not going to be grandfathered back in?

I don't think that they can come in at their seniority when they left, but they can come back as new hires. That said, they can probably jump to the front of the line of the pool. Just because you are in the pool doesn't mean that SWA owes you anything. You don't have an employee number. While SWA has had a method to bringing on the newhires, they still don't have to honor it.

It may not seem fair, but that's life.

I wonder if these old guys will have to do a year of probation again?

 

[AlbieF15]

I'm NOT a poolie, and not on the inside...

Pros to hiring the guys back would be training costs would certainly be low. Cons would be wondering how a former captain would accept starting over as a junior FO. I guess if they'd give a 50 year old from US Air a shot (and they did for a few) they might give a 60 year old from their own place a shot.

Again--before anyone gets out the torches and pitchforks...I got no dog in this fight and have no idea how it will play out. It is, however, a very interesting development...

 

[THEPRFCT10]

Not sure what to think...

Just spoke to PD TODAY and they said that after the 9 Jan class, they are 'counting' on 1 class in Feb, then 'hopefully' 1 class in Mar. They also told me something different that they never have in the past: whereas I was always referred to as being #50 in the pool, they did say to me today that "numbers are adjusting", so they just want me to know and understand that as of now I am in class #3. No more referencing me to a number like they have until now. THOUGHTS? ? ? I wonder what the longest time someone was in a hiring pool. . . keep this thread going, guys!

[Zdriver]

I have always been given an estimate based on number of classes, and have never been told # on list. Wonder what they mean by 'adjusting'?

 

[THEPRFCT10]

They didn't go into specifics (surprise ...I was, however always been told #50. . .until today Wonder how long we'll be swimming????????
