SWA classes to start around Jan. or Feb.
I heard a nasty rumor that several Reserve units (that were previously scheduled for deactivation) will NOT be deactivated in October (or anytime soon). I wonder if SWA has caught wind of this? -
New Improved SWA "Beer" pool
A couple of months ago it was "classes at the end of the year". Last month it was "Classes beginning in January". This month it is "Classes beginning in Febuary". What will it be next month?? Classes beginning in March? -
SWA domiciles?

Repeal of Age 60 rule
This topic is POINTLESS to debate. It comes down to these two sides CON: age 60 rule 1. I am getting ready to retire, the stock market is down.. therefore I need to work a couple of more years so I can retire like a fat cat. Or... I have been furloughed 5 times over my 20 year career and... -
3rd Qtr. Earnings at SWA
I agree with thoth and livefree man. Eventhough SWA is taking on more planes, new routes and frequencies; they will not train new F/O's until the existing ones are sufficiently utilized. However, IMHO, I do not believe SWA will be able to absorb the announced expansion into the current rank and... -

Next SWA Class Beer Pool!
In light of recent announcements, I thought I would float this thread to the top of the pile again. -
SWA starts coast-to-coast flights
If we think the SWA bunch is nasty now, just wait until next year around April with no classes in sight. -
Classes/interviews for SWA..
Krunch Hey, don't get me wrong, I luved the good mojo in your last post, but please explain a few things. 1. Where did you get the info on the net gain of 14 new planes? 2. 200 pilot retirements next year? This number is about 120 higher than most estimates. Like Mike says... "That would... -

SWA Currency Requirment for Poolies!
Pegsus, So according to the "times two" theory, whoever is #228 on our list is really #456 on the real list. That would put him in the 23rd class (20 people per class). So if SWA starts training again in January at max production of 2 class per month, #228 will be looking at a class no... -

SWA Currency Requirment for Poolies!
Hey Pegasus, How many people do you think are in the pool? I have a friend that got lucky enough to get into the July 15th class. While he was there, the word was that there were 360 people in the pool. -
SWA Classes
THIS BLOWS Holy crap batman, OK.... I have never gone through or been a part of Pilot Contract Negotiations at a major airline. Therefore, I cannot give a very accurate opinion. So can anyone explain to this board why the SWA pilot contract extention vote will have NO affect on the... -
Two classes in August for SWA..
Also, does anyone know the shortest time period between SWA STARTING the phone calls for a class and the actual class date? -
Two classes in August for SWA..
Anyone, Not that I am anywhere close to getting out of the pool, but I am curious about how the chief pilot "calling process" works. Do the Chief Pilots need to meet everytime prior to calling dudes for the next class? If they do, does anyone know if there are C.P.'s in DAL right... -
SWA Pool list question..
Next class Slug Slug, I second the motion that you are in the next class. Your "pool" number is around 26, if you factor in the 33% of the people not on our list (assuming the pool is around 300). So that makes you #6 for the next class. -

SWA Pool list question..
FYI, Freek biscuit reset his new available date to 1 Aug. -
Time to class at SWA?
I know Freek Biscuit is going on 14 months. I don't know if that is the record, but time will tell. If he gets a class in August, then he will round out with a 15 month wait. :eek: -
SWA interviews
I think I will be positive. SWA will call for interviews at the end of Aug/beginning of Sept. -
