SWA is constantly undermanned right now leading to open sim blocks that cannot be covered. Pretty much anyone who is new there is considering their other, better options across town. They had opened it up to part timers, but from what I understand they closed that off as well. When all the junior guys are leaving, the senior guys become the junior guys for all intents and purposes. It takes 6 months to get a new sim instructor on the line. Talk to people who work there or have just quit. It is a slave ship.
