SWA Training

[topdawg]

Rejection comes by snail mail. Offer of employment comes by phone call. I know they're working double-time to get people hired and into classes quickly so I'd expect a phone call by the end of next week maybe. Letter takes a little longer I'm sure. Please don't drive off a cliff next Friday though as the timeline is never in stone. :laugh:

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks

Question

If your references get called is that half the battle.

This for the info.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

I was rejected via email. Didn't even warrant snail mail.

 

[scoreboardII]

refences called means you still have a chance, you made it past the interviewers, now the panel decides.

 

[npilhuj]

Another question

When the board meets does it take a couple days for the call. Some one said its the day after. I think that would be to quick. I was just inquiring for hopefully the day I get lucky. Thanks for all the help.

My advise would be to put 75 percent of your concentration on the sim. You'll be spoon fed what you need to know in class. Don't get wrapped up with crazy details about the aircraft systems. I've found that they want you to know what a switch does when you throw it or what triggers a light to come on, not the exact pressure that a pump operates at. Above advise is right on about letting go of your previous life.

While your at it, don't get to wrapped up in tying up any lose ends at home. Let your family take care of that stuff. It's there job to help you out during training!

Oh...and I would also advise you not to worry about how to spell the word "advice." It really doesn't matter...

You're kidding right?

It really depends. I was called the Monday morning after the board met. (They met on a Friday) However I know a few guys that were called about a week later.

You're kidding right?

That's some funny stuff right there!!

 

[mule]

You're kidding right?

No, my advise was sound. You don't want to many things bugging you during training. You don't want to loose the best job in the industry do to worrying about home issues.

Dude, just stop. You even edited for spelling and still got it wrong!

I think that was the point of the wink. Lighten up brotha

Why explain it bake?

I must see your picture full size, it'll help.

 

[Lear70]

I must see your picture full size, it'll help.

His Avatar changes from time to time, and she always looks like the same girl, just different pictures, which makes me wonder if that's actually his girlfriend, and if so... NICE!

If that is the case, I want to work for Southwest. I am sure if Dan R put up a pic of girl it would be Roseanne Barr.

 

[ASADFW7]

No creative swearing please.

 

[LukinUp]

No creative swearing please.

But we can have avatars like Formula 1...Gotcha!

Are you saying you have something against woman aviators ?

 

[SIG600]

Unreal. Hate and discontent is what defines this place, plus a little softcore porn.

If I wanted family friendly I'd go over to the love shack at APC, or join the Air Force.

 

[waveflyer]

Sig- write it down- i agree w/ you
That's more than I'd say to describe it-I don't "hate" anything here- but ...you're right- FI is about being a little uncensored. For most, professionalism dictates a more tempered approach in life and on public forums- and FI is the place we can let go of the chains a bit and test out what we think- I've never imagined Bake's avatar as being remotely offensive. It's been a similar avatar for years.
Having Mod'd another site before, that seemed to be a bit of an over-mod.
My opinion only- which is worth next to nothing since I'm not willing to mod here- and David stern would fine me for the comments in the NBA
Overall I think our new mod is doing a great job, however. Thanks for doing it.

 

[Lear70]

Actually, there's nothing in the TOS about Avatars except that they can't contain nudity.

Pilots "appreciating the female form" is a time-honored tradition. Hell, we've had female pilots that have put scantily-clothed pictures of male models up on here, but as long as they were clothed, they were inside the TOS.

It's a careful line to walk, between allowing enough free speech to be entertaining and still generate readership and moderating when it "crosses the line". Too much moderation lowers readership which lowers ad revenue which becomes counter-productive to one of the goals of the website.

That said, sorry I brought it up, Bake. I see you got a vacation, too. Must have said something in PM to the mod. Sorry, amigo.

 

[zonejumper]

Hmmmm, seems that questionable avatars are permitted as they are grandfathered in. I had one of a stud but it mysteriously disappeared.....

 

[ASADFW7]

Profile pictures are reviewed by the moderators and website owner when noticed or reported. The moderators do not have editing authority over profiles, only the owner of the forum. If you have a picture removed it comes from the owner. Some of the long standing pictures are being changed as noticed. There is no wholesale change only an interest to keep modesty. Thank you

Modesty is overrated...

Lame. Do they need to be in a burka?

 

[ASADFW7]

Shag, that is not the point to restrict photos away from western normalcy. Out of the all the active profiles less than ten avatars have been asked to change in the last month. Of those that did, the majority included photos that included less than traditional bikini bathing suits. The intent of the TOS is if you are reading the forum and your child is walking past that nothing is inappropriate in that audience visually.

But the owner has rights. If we don't like it we can start our own forum? I'm not doing that...
