A big part of getting a JOB at a major (assuming you have the credentials)
is passing the Personnel Interview. If you don't exhibit a positive mental attitude to your interviewer.............you get that infamous "letter" in the mail Instead of that wonderful "Phone call" a few days after you return home from your interview.
We know, you have recieved several "letters"
SKY We've all heard your story, we've all heard your Forecasts............
A flying career ain't for everybody, especially if you refuse to move and don't want to commute. We all understand that.
Give it a rest and move on.......
I can not even name three SWA Captains. I have never met one who lives in my home state. None of my friends and co-workers have ever gone to SWA. (well a few have) The big reason is that they don't live here because it is too far of a commute.
I will give it a rest. It is others like yourself who keep bringing the topic up.
I do not now nor ever wished to fly for SWA. They are a fine company however they are not prevalent in the northwest. They don't have bases here. Don't fly to many cities here. Don't have many SWA pilots who live here either. I have a family who is very happy to live where we do and do not really want me to spent my days off sleeping in terminals trying to commute home for a day and a half before struggling to get back. We don't want to move.
One of life's most precious liberties is being able to live where you wish. Work is supposed to be a means to an end and not what your entire live is wrapped around.
I have to leave soon to meet up with my brother for an early morning motorcycle ride in the mountains. I am able to do things like this because I live
with my friends and family in a place we are excited about. Yesterday I took my kids fishing. An apartment in Baltimore is just not worth it.
