Swa Pool

[Tanker Clown]

JKE406,

Surely you are joking. Are you really a SWA poolie?

Nav.

There's no way with JKE406's attitude that he's in the SWA pool. I don't think he has what it takes. His demeanor would better serve him at Delta.

JKE406,

Nav.

no, I'm not joking. and stop calling me shirley, stupid.

 

[Tanker Clown]

You are full of it. There's no way you have the Southwest spirit. I don't doubt that you interviewed, but you don't really have what they're looking for.

Guys and gals in the pool:


I would keep swimming but seriously look at other companies; Delta, Netjets, staying in active duty etc..... With the age 65 change (huge) and slow in growth, you're are looking at probably a 15 year upgrade to Capt, at least. Capt is where the money is long term and unless you are 30 years old or less I would go with a growing young company. Unfortunately, we are not young and growth is a roll of the dice at this point. I am not bagging on the company. I luv it here but....keep your options open.

For the SWA PD:

Your pool is a lot less crowded than you think.

Tanker Clown. You are such a tool. From a guy who's been at both companies you don't have a clue. How would you know about swa attitude and why swa hires who they do or don't? Give it a rest and stop posting until you have an Airline job and some interview credibility.

I will be discussing this very significant privacy breach with my attorney and encourage others on this list to do the same.

Pretty ironic, the anti-Hillary goes running for his lawyer...

They gonna love you at Southwest with this attitude!

no, I'm not joking. and stop calling me shirley, stupid.

If the skirt fits.....


I'll won't call you Shirley if you don't call me stupid. I may be an idiot, but I'm not stupid.

 

[navigatro]

BTW, calling people stupid is a great way to show that Southwest Spirit!

 

[FlyByNight1]

not to get back on topic or anything, but, has anyone actually talked to the folks in Dallas (first hand) to see what they say?

Yeah, but remember, 15 year SWA FO makes roughly the same wage as 15 yr CA on the 737 elsewhere. You really think you'll hold widebody CA at a major in 15 yrs? Narrowbody, yes, wide, no. And add in the fact that you'll be pulling in 6 figs after 3 yrs at SWA and you will have 15 days off/mo from the day you start, and it's a pretty easy choice.

My opinion of course. But hey, if you want to look elsewhere, then I guess I can get an interview that much quicker.

Yea, What he said.....

 

[capt1900]

I think eveyone should go elsewhere, I will gladly take your class date.

That list will become a "Do not hire" list if it makes it into any offices at Airtran, Alaska, Frontier, and maybe Jetlbue. It would probably give the folks at DAL and CAL pause too.

Want to F- your buddy? Send it out there...so it can wind up at other HR offices.

A honest mistake? Maybe. A way to keep discouraged poolies from applying other places? Hmmmm. Might want to get a new email before you throw any more apps out.

Sorry for those of you getting tired of treading water. Hope the calls come despite age 65. That great SWA spirit will come in handy as you wait for your call...

I have always thought you were a stand up guy, even used you for my prep with swa but damn you sound like you have an axe to grind with swa! What gives?

 

[bravodude]

why on earth are you posting in the SWA pool forum if you've already been hired?

your time would be better spent doing something to get a better contract and halting the erosion at SWA.

Because he is doing to the samething that I will be doing...Calling the PD to stop them from hirring fools like you. Do us all a favor and go to CAL or better yet DELTA I hear General Lee is looking for a new friend.

I've never seen a sorrier group of kool-aid slurpers in my life. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, most SWA poolies in this forum have to be the most brainwashed, @ss-kissing, short-sighted, oblivious folks around. Next to tanker clown, that is. Good luck!
