Default September SWA class?
Anyone getting phone calls for a September class at SWA? I've heard rumors of 17 Sep or 24 Sep.

One solid class in September with rumor of a second. Not sure of the dates yet.

Got a memo Friday saying there is going to be two new hire classes a month and one captain upgrade class a month for the rest of the year, subject to change.

I have an interview on August 21st. If I get hired, what do you guys think would be a realistic class date?

That's a tough question but if you were in the Sept decision board, then I would think possibly late October or November but it all depends on how many get the call before you.

We have about 80 in the pool right now, which is low for us. Of those 80, it's hard to tell how many might have military commitments, etc. So you can see how variable guessing at a class date can be....

Not sure where you gents are getting all your info, hope its valid, but I talked to PD twice last week. As of Friday COB, there was no (releasable) decision on classes. If anyone has the (unreleasable) inside scoop, that would be ...helpful.

I got my info from a memo in my mailbox. I would say it's somewhat valid being that it came from the company.

Looks like HuronIP and CB both had good intel. Classes will be 10 Sep and 17 Sep. Both with 24 folks.

Anyone getting a call?
