Did he mention how many applicants are on file, or how many they will realistically hire? Or how the chief pilots board can no longer override HR’s thumbs down on an applicant?

I don’t care if this Big Ern guy has a social media following—maybe his stuff stirs some interest in applying to SWA. That’s all fine, but that’s for folks at the Private Pilot or high school dream level.

My thoughts remain that SWA needs to step up and put down the YouTube and iron out a contract that will attract qualified pilots instead of insisting that we have applicants out the door…well never mind, they are out the door. To Delta.

Us hired in 2015 were at the front of a very different wave.
