    Malaysian 777 found!!!

    Very poor taste, disgusting really. I shouldn't be surprised since this forum has turned to crap over the last several years. Stay classy.

    Good areas to live based in HOU

    Woodlands, Kingwood, Conroe, Katy etc. There are many areas around Houston that offer wonderful QOL and good schools. Cinco Ranch master planned community in Katy offers top quality schools, K-12, and wonderful amenities. Don't be fooled, there are great places to live and raise a family in the...

    Blood Pressure meds

    Two week waiting period to make sure no problems with medication. You will get blood work from doc to show no issues with potassium levels. In the beginning there will be a need for BP checks for several days in a row with a letter from doc saying all is well and under control. Honestly, it's...

    Houston Hobby ?

    Friendswood and Pearland are some areas closer to Hobby. Many pilots do live in Kingwood, Spring, The Woodlands, but those are to the north. Out west you have Katy, Cinco Ranch area. If you have kiddos a research on school districts is a must.

    Leave SWA for AA or Delta?

    To the original poster, I feel and understand your frustration. Don't get caught up in all the pissing contests that come up here and just get the good an bad points. The movement at the legacies will be good for sure, but get in early if you choose that route. After a while you will have...

    Southwest Training

    My understanding is if you medical out the premiums would be so expensive it would not be worth it. I don't mind the insurance if something should happen to me unexpectedly but I am looking for another plan to cover me if I do go out on medical.

    Delta upgrade to business for non revs

    Unrelated to Delta but have purchased ZED in American for my mother to Europe and each time she was put in Business. Very much appreciated. Now I have purchased coach seats on Delta to Europe, can I get an extra snack?! Kidding of course.

    SWA Hiring...

    Ten years is a long time and, well, yes I think eventually. Keep in mind however that upgrade times for those joining at the bottom will be very long. It would be advantageous to try the airlines with high retirements first. If SWA is your goal then be patient and hopefully things will improve...

    National Air Cargo

    Prayers for them and for the families. Truly a sad day. Godspeed.

    A Change at Southwest????

    Hmmm. I had a 50 minute turn on a through flight last trip. Have to admit we were a bit surprised with that one. On average 30 minute turns for me.

    Any "Latest & Greatest" About Atlas?

    There are some junior FO's staring at 20year upgrades at SWA. I've heard some grumblings here and there!

    Emirates Pay

    Yes, upgrades will be in the 20+ year range. Keep in mind that pay and benefits are good from the right seat however.

    Swa 717

    I went from flying an -800 to flying the 717. Nice airplane, very automated. Now we just need our (SWA) 737 up to speed on autolands. PS-Never did like leaving the AT on all the way to landing, normaly I would override the AT. Autopilot off, autothrottles off, What floats your boat I guess.

    ATA Scheduled Service Changes

    Bruce Clark was a class act. I didn't know untill a few weeks later that he passed away. Sad to see him go.

    SWA/Airtran pilot integration thoughts, what will the new list look like?

    ...there, yes it is better than our 9.3% match. Now if I would still be at Airtran I would be making $74 an hour at an average of 85 hours. $74 * 85 = 6290 * 10.5% is $660.45 That is pretty good. Now at SWA I make $99.02 * 105 TFP = $10,397.10 * 9.3% is $966.93 My point is that it...

    For SWA Poolies

    Not a chance!! We are not perfect here at SWA, no one is, but we are absolutely different from everyone else. I have worked for several carriers and seen the good, bad, and ugly. Long upgrades now due to economy and age 65 still has not put a damper on how I feel about working in this...
