March classes....

probably not..... spoke with my favorite peron in DAL today, LL says April "likely" 2 classes, then a "chance" of 2 in May, 1 in June...... all still under review. Does anybody know, when are the Olympic trials?? Perhaps we can put together a syncronized swimming team for the country of Poolaratus???? Hey HOUMAN, can we use your flag for the country banner???

On a bright note;

DALLAS, March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Airlines Co.

...and scheduling just called to JA me...first time since I've been here in almost two years.

 

[Falconjet]

JA?

Flint: I'll bite. What does JA stand for? If its some kind of mandatory call in to fly open time are you saying that they are going to need some more new hires at Southwest soon? Just curious.

Signed: Another poolie looking from the outside in.

Pilot hubby has been called by scheduling (JA'ed) more in the last 5 weeks than in the previous 2 years. My understanding that there is a lot of JA'ing out of OAK.

From a dedicated lurker, hoping all you poolies are working for SWA sooner rather than later.

Those who are activated - stay safe, keep the faith and thanks.
