THIS is completely my favorite! Heres how it will go unfortunately :
CP = Cheif Pilot
WP = Whining Pilot ( unjustified at that)
WP : Sir , so and so in the new hire class is a dirtbag and a bad person....blah blah or a scab.....( insert lie here)
CP : Well how do you know him/her and what did they do?
WP: ( has to lie at this point ) ....uh i dont know them really.....but they are scabs....
CP : they crossed a picket line?
WP: uh no....but they are scum
CP: ok how so....
WP: tells GJ story
CP : thanks for coming in
after WP leave.....CP laughs and thinks where did they get THAT loser from!
Actually, they post the list of new-hire candidates in the pool PRIOR to awarding them a class date...it's actually a part of their process.
If a current SWA pilot does give you a down-check for any reason at all, you are in very deep trouble. Yes, this really happens.
