Sorry buddy! Haven't gotten the letter yet although I'm sure its on its way. (No type, another mid-30s white guy with a few thousand TPIC time.)
Keep your chin up and keep applying. I hear after 10 rejection letters you get a free T-shirt!

I was wondering if others were getting the e-mail. I didn't see it in any of the other threads...just trying to get some discussion started.
Good luck with your search.

Wait....I was just trying to say that it's not the end of the world if you didn't get hired by SWA. Are you trying to tell that guy that it is?
