Go to a meet and greet. Plenty of guys have taken multiple year breaks and have been hired. You will be offered an interview and class within 2 weeks. I'm guessing they are trying to fill the Oct 19th class still. After a year or less you will get picked up by SW.
Meet and greet as in a job fair? If they are trying to fill Oct class I'd love to be able to talk to someone asap...unless I misunderstand what you mean by "meet and greet".
Either way...thanks for the advice and response. These forums are kind of brutal and it's refreshing to be able to get useful feedback.
