Questions:
Is there a fitness room inside of the hotel? Is it safe to go outside for a run?
Thanks

There is a fitness room in the hotel. A run outside the hotel is not recommended.

if you are going to be a commuter at SWA then MDW has to be a commuter's dream. The crashpad situation there is ideal. Just keep that bit of info in your back pocket. It's not that the other bases are not commuter friendly...it's that MDW is extremely commuter friendly.

If studying is not your thing then just make sure you know your flows. chapters 2, and 3 of the FOM, and callouts. (immediate action items too). Know these and you will be more than ok.

Yes, I would agree that MDW is the commuters dream, but is also the biggest commuter base by far and is hard to get to sometimes. Flights fill up fast going to MDW.

This is an excellent thread! Thanks to everyone. I have my interview (2nd one) next week and can't wait to find out. It's even better that other posters haven't bashed anyone.

I got the call last month and am finishing up my type in two weeks. Thanks for putting that together 329, it answered all the questions I had about training.

Congrads.....Heard from your wife about the good news.

Just remember....It's all about the "quality of the water".

You'll be missed.

I've just got to lob one in here. I have seen multiple posts about the company emailing folks. Come on. I know they're busy but this is the biggest day of that mans career. Pick up the phone and tell the dude with a voice! Not an email. I thought we were the people airline.

I would cut them a little slack. The email is just an update on when they can expect, not the actual class date, right? Anyway I would hope so.

[k3mbbc]

REK....you are correct. For training classes, they just send you an e-mail inviting you for training the next month (received mine yesterday!). You have to get in contact with them to get the specifics.

Back in July 06, I received an e-mail with no subject line. I almost deleted it thinking it was more junk e-mail......it was my invited for an interview!

How bout you guys helping out the old SWA/FO from all the injustice on flightinfo.com? Where are my SWAPA brothers when I need them?

Peace out....

Your SWAPA brothers are at the Age 60 Blitz....Then they're off to the headset blitz...

Come on, let's add some new stuff and keep this post going.

New Stuff??

On the weekends do not bunker down in your room and study all day. It is the exception, not the norm for the guys who do the hotel vanishing act. As a matter of fact may I suggest Cowboys Red River on any weekend night. More hot Texas women than you can shake a stick at. If you have a light Friday, go on Thurday. All the off duty rippers are there in droves. Does not matter if you don't like C&W music either. If you like women you will get over the music. About a $15 cab ride each way.
That is the best piece of advice I have ever given a bunch of new hires. Peace out!
