SWA Upcoming Class Prep Advice

[jp1030]

Just remember this, if I'm on your jumpseat and you're flying...and you engage the autopilot and say "airshow's over" I'll reach up and slap the side of your head.

For all the guys that show the more handsome side of their liver and personality with the info down cold I will happily make internet flash cards for all the poolies if someone will send me the info. If not that opens up a lot of free beer time for me.

Cirrhosis more than one way to a rock hard abs.

The main thing you need to know is the Holiday Inn has a real nice half price buffet for lunch everyday. Find someone with a car a head back and eat there each day. Flows and callouts. You are going to have a blast. I agree with above....help the Navy guys....you know who you are...haha

since the fight is on, please tell the civilian guys shorts, sneakers, a webbed belt, and an OP t-shirt don't make for fancy bar attire. :O

Oh yeah and help us navy guys out...

And don't buy everything you see in the gift shop. You don't need that crap.

Shorts, sneakers and an OP tshirt most certainly do make for good bar wear. I'm not trying to get laid I'm trying to pack light.

How do you military guys fit all those clothes in your "kit" and still have room for your watches and sunglass case?

Gup

 

[puddlejumper101]

you guys that just went through class did or are they still having the new hire party?

 

[huronip]

Just study the flows and go to www.pass737.com and get the flash cards and profiles and you will be set.

Oh SNAP!!!!

As you can tell PERFECT10 there's quite a lot of civvies vs military here at SWA, but in the end we all drink the same beer and have a good time working together. Welcome aboard. My advice, don't study a damn thing. Enjoy your family, you'll have PLENTY of time to study while in Dallas.

hey guys,

i was in the Oct class. i bought the pass737 cards, and they helped a lot. many of the guys in class saw what we had, and they ordered them while in class. i think it was a benefit to have them ahead of time, just to get some studying time in.

good luck to you, and see you on-line.

ps--all new hires in 3 Oct class got OAK, as of April, some were able to bid out of it into PHX.

cheers,
NAV

Hey NAV,

Can anyone from OCT 3 class hold BWI yet? I know it is junior but was curious since movement has slowed down a bit.

Thanks

Yeah...so far, it seems that the majority of guys say there'll be plenty of time to study in Dallas: I like your advice and I think I'll take you up on that! Damn it's hard to get out of this military-style training program mentality!

Interesting, a HOU SWA F/O told me last night that the most junior F/O @ BWI right now is a Jul 07 class guy....I may have misunderstood him.

Thanks for the info noreaster. I am in the pool and live about an hour from BWI. Just wondering how long I will be commuting to OAK.

Thanks again.
