SWA Poolies . . . a glimmer of hope?

[StopNTSing]

The SWA PD has already said when/if hiring resumes that there will be another background check, update of PRIA data, checkrides, etc. That's why they told me on the phone "you've been selected to continue in the hiring process" not "you are hired." Covering their butts. My money is on SWA not flushing the pool.

Agree completely. I don't have any special insight into how the PD operates these days, but common sense (of which there is still a fair amount of around here) would dictate no flushing of the poolies. If you were good enough to be hired a few years ago, why would they go to the time and cost (and it's all still about costs here) to re-interview the same person? An updated background and flight currency check and you're GTG, I would think.

All good news for the poolies. I hope it holds true.

With any luck we'll flush Jake. The rest of you are welcome anytime now!

Is there any thought on how the new duty and rest rules will affect hiring?

My guess as an outsider is not as much as at some places. SWA runs a pretty efficient scheduling operation from what I understand.

actually, there will be some hurt, the hi time fliers will have more problems working inside the rules, so in essence, a slightly higher chance of needing more folks to fly the line.

That's what I heard. If it's true I guess you shouldn't diss the guy whose ass you were kissing to get here.

Leaves room for someone who wants to be here.
