Southwest Management Should Read This

New F/Os will start at $15/hour but that low wage doesn't matter because upgrade will be quick, like 6 months. Oh, and mins have been lowered to 'student' and they'll take care of the rest in the sim. Lookin' great!
I don't know where you get all your doom and gloom.
If you want to work in an environment where fear and intimidation rule; where management style is dictated as opposed to a joint operation whereby all are free to communicate the needed changes to upper management in order to keep up with competition; where the CP has little to no experience in more than how to cheat on his wife, lie to his friends or belittle his employees, while attempting to spark fear into everyone that works around him, then consider AWAC home!
IF however, you value a little more than spending 100K to get your ratings, only to make $15/hr for 2+ years – then you might want to look elsewhere. But if that sounds good to you then you’re just the person we’ve been looking for. Hop aboard and join the ranks of intelligent people like Whisky. You too may someday make manager or even Chief Pilot….
And if your with Southwest or have any pull with any of their operations decisions – Welcome to the start of your decline! I mean this with the utmost respect to my fellow pilots that have grown sick and tired of the norm here at AWAC. It is management and the people that work in management that are bringing this company down. Allow them to join your ranks at your own risk!
