SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

[canyonblue]

In less than 5 years they will drop the 1,000TPIC requirement too.

Possibly, we already have many pilots without it.

Really? Not sure where you would have gotten them. Both AirTran and SWA required it.

BTW, how many years will I have to be "retired" before you finally get tired of my wonderful quote in your signature?

He had the job offer in writing.

Sidenote KAL, ANA, JAL and Asiana are on quite a few US Companies "do not fly on" lists.

I'm sure he said that, that is what they always say....!

About your claims..., prove it..! Show me evidence of any company that has All Nippon Airways on any do not fly list...!

Many "non approved airlines" for US corporations have more to do with rebooking and other operational considerations - not a matter of safety. A manager from AMEX in PHX once told me they're not to book a certain airline due to their insistance to not rebook pax OAL when operations are interrupted.

Then I was given misinformation from some former AT guys.

It truly was prophetic. However, I wouldn't exactly say you guys didn't do well in an acquisition. You were a former Union rabble-rouser, you know anything that has over a 51% yes vote means you gave away too much.

True.

You're right. We didn't do well, we did miserably.
