Echoeing a little bit.....spoke today to PD and they did say that the 3 Apr classes were expected to be filled solely by the 60+ guys....the decision to fill in some poolies here and there with them has yet to be determined.....maybe they'll have a different syllabus or training schedule??? That being said, they told me that after those 3 April classes, none planned until August, Sept., then maybe Oct....depending on how maybe poolies needed to fill the company quota. Good news, I guess? Keep swimming guys!

ah, crap....

. Good news, I guess? Keep swimming guys!

Yeah, no classes until August, that is great news.

The delusions continue. Can we please get some rationality up in here?

Yeah, no classes until August, that is great news.

They told me to call back in two weeks and they plan on releasing the training classes for the poolies by then...since the returning capts issues will be done by then.......I meant good news in that maybe we'll finally find out when we are going to class.

like I said, ah, crap....

Speaking of SWA, my Dallas buddy told me something interesting. He was flying from SEA to DAL and had the VPs of crew planning and scheduling on board. He told me that he thought that was odd. Why would they be in SEA? Any airlines headquartered there?

Horizon. Same type of flying. At least Horizon has some variety in airframes. Could make it appealing to many SWA pilots.

That could work out quite well for you if you could get hired there flying the Dash 8. That'll be the only way you ever see a major.

Don't ya think the gubment might have some antitrust issues with a SWA / Alaska deal? That represents a huge amount of west coast traffic.

That's the dumbest thing I've read in a while.

Gup

Seems a waste to do 3 classes of 15, since there were only 46 greedies interviewed, when they could do just 2 classes and git r done.

Wow. It's begining to look like if you are on the bottom of this list, you probably should seek employment elsewhere. At this rate, the guy at the bottom of the list has another 2 years to go.

And that's if no mergers go down.

 

[Caveman]

If you flew with someone who was unsafe and/or unprofessional you should have done something about it then. You should have called pro standards or talked to a CP. If you didn't do that and now you want to anonymously blackball someone you're a coward.

Anonymously badmouthing someone in a way that will jeopardize their employment just because you don't enjoy their company is equally cowardly IMO. We're talking about someone's livelihood here. This isn't junior high school.

If you feel so strongly that someone isn't a good fit then grow a pair and stand up and be counted. Do it in the light of day so the accused can at least defend themselves.

There's a pilot I know that's on the Phase II list here at B6. I don't like him. He's weird and annoying. That's no reason for me to comment on whether or not he should get hired. He's qualified and as far as I know has an unblemished flying record. Who am I to risk his employment just because I don't care for his company. I don't have to live with him. I just have to get along for 3 or 4 days.

Some of you need to grow up.

Thanks for the great advice

You bet.

Greedies, very nice. I think you must know these guys and you are sure they will never be your captain.

I will help you with the class structure... They don't just hold classes for classes sakes. They hold a class so that the grads are coming on board at the same time airplanes are coming on board. It is a thing called a PLAN. They stick to it so that the ration of pilots to planes remains stable.

Greedie...I can see you will fit in here real well. Send me a PM with your pic so I can put it in the BWI lounge.

Look forward to flying with you...NOT.
