SWA walk a mile in another employee's shoes?

[Kharma Police]

Does SW still have the program where an employee like pilots can spend a day doing another employee's job? Just saying, so don't hate but I think it's a great idea and will give a good perspective if us pilots see what is like working the ramp or other job for a day.

Yes, but only for ramp position I think.

 

[ALSF 2]

Yes, but only for ramp position I think.

Yep, couple times a year. It's called Cutting Edge as SW. Employees (mostly pilots, but I have seen FA's and Cust. Service Agents as well) can go out on your day off and work the ramp alongside the ramp team.

It definitely DOES give you a "bigger picture" on how things are operating down there.

Cheers!

Oh boy, that sounds like fun.

Do I get to put in the gear pins and hide the flags...or maybe sneak into the cockpit at night on an RON and switch off the EECs?

Both of which were done to me BTW.

Why pin the gear every night ??

 

[Kermit_D_Frog]

That's the way we do things here in the old man Air Force.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Probably done for the same reason we can't leave an electrically powered aircraft unattended. Some of the stuff they do is completely asinine.

Who knows,... and I'm just spitballing here... But maybe someone did this to you because of your demonstrated sparkling and sunny disposition!

That could certainly be...

Or maybe it was because the airplane I was operating was parked overnight in a SW city and painted in AT livery.

Most likely the same reason we turned off the DME on the 200s in the 21 century .



As the other poster beat me to it . ( it's the way we did it in the Air Force )

 

[FlyinGuy]

I want to walk a mile (or two) in a senior captain's shoes!!!

Because you just can't fix stupid. Especially if it's Tex-ass brand stupid.

Actually, you can "walk a mile" with any employee
Just go through your chief
And cutting edge is a great time and it does give perspective

What the b/tchers here need to get through their souls is you gain more if it's not all about you

From the mouth (keyboard) of a West Vagina native...Way to go Horse-chit..

RV, even when he's right, you post personal attacks. Nice.

 

[twepilot]

He's a big boy. He can take it. Doesn't need his daddy defending him...Well, I guess he needs his daddy employing him...

Don't mind Dick. He's just got a small brain and even smaller namesake.

 

[SWA Bubba]

Did you even read PCL's post? It wasn't "right," it was actually an opinion ("that pinning is stupid") which contained his own personal attack ("Tex-ass"). And then you get your panties all wadded up about Twepilot's state-based insult? Nice.

Don't worry--I don't think anyone's going to mistake you for the impartial civility police.

There's Horse-chits fascination with dick again....strange..but explains a lot..
