Everyone has been late or no showed (I have) but without any probationary period who cares? My mission in life was to stay off the skyline. Mostly I mention this incident so that other AT folks coming on property don't place themselves on the skyline from day one.
The Oscar
Well Oscar, according to JDFyler some of us are apparently already on the skyline before we even get to SWA training. Isn't that right, JD? Why don't you tell us about "The List" that's been floating around for a while now.
Just for the enlightenment of our viewing audience, perhaps they'd get an even better sense of the SW pilot "holier than thou" attitude if they knew that SWAPA actually threw across the table at one point in negotiations the concept of having all AirTran pilots be on probation after they transitioned over. Apparently it was quickly squashed by our negotiators.
