And of those 450 newly hired pilots 1/2 will be onto greener pastures in less than 2 years. And in order for 450 to show to class SWA will have to offer 700 pilots class dates.
Yep SWA is a stepping stone airline.
Bluesh!t.
So why are guys leaving there?
Great so they are not as large of a stone as we are. But you and I both know they have an issue as well. Is it as large no but there is one. It's 2017 the airline world has changed. The big 3 offer retirements (swa is a 12-15 year upgrade) a totally diffrent route map and now great contracts as well as wide-body's)Nobody is saying your SWA is bad just that they will have the same problem that we do. That problem is not as severe thanks to their contract(which is what I have be saying) but even that won't stop guys from leaving or not showing up to class.
But here I will end this for you.
SWA=AMAZING
JETBLEW=SUCKS
Problem is we work for JetBlue...
