If you got hired by swa on the next decision board you'd be lucky to start by Feb 08.
Delta and Continental have much shorter pipelines right now.
UPS's pool isn't "linear" as I understand it. In other words, you could get hired and have somebody who interviewed later than you jump over you in the pool because they scored higher in the selection process (that's second hand info, you should probably ask a UPS guy if that's true).
