Upcoming SWA classes

[VoidFighter]

The rumor on the street from most of my sources including the PD at SWA is April '08 for new interviews...what really happens--no one knows.

The regionals must have over 6000 RJ captains, plus corporate must have another 2000+, Uncle Sam must have another few thousand, what is going on with the applications?

Has it ocurred to you that perhaps some folks do not care to fly the rest of their careers on one domestic airplane? SWA is not the only good gig in town.

Your kidding, right???

Hate to get this back on track...but my buddy had to go into the Chief Pilot's office for a probation feedback thing in Dallas and asked about upcoming classes.

Unfortunately, the news isn't good. Probably no new hire classes until June-ish. That sucks. Hope it's just a pessimistic opinion.

I guess I'll have to go to Delta until the SWA machine starts up again.

Tanker Clown, I'm not sure what's worse about you: the fact that you joined NAMBLA, or the fact that you've gone a couple of years without paying dues while exercising all the privileges of your NAMBLA membership.

 

[Tanker Clown]

You are correct 406. Both are quite sad...but, I assumed a group of pilots would appreciate the cheapness of not paying dues.

Hey I can under stand that argument, I wrestled with it myself. But, you also have to understand that QOL and job security are more of a factor for some. Some of us think sitting for 7 hrs on our way to Europe is more painful than Domestic Ops. Different strokes for different folks my friend. Find what makes you happy.. As they say "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life"
