I understand dropping the type because of the AirTran merger, but honestly it's been part of the culture Herb developed and with so many qualified applicants on the street it really delineates those who are committed to SWA. Now, I have the type so I'm biased, but I think something else is happening. SWA is preparing a massive growth expansion. They wi blow up the Carribean and add Hawaii. They are going to position themselves as THE discount domestic airline, as they connect AirTran cities into the SWA network and philosophy of fast turns and market domination. Change is in motion with Major mergers and the Majors finally realizing the $$ is in International routes. SWA will need to hire and quickly. They will need hundreds and types will be taken care of in training.
