SWA were telling pax in MCO last Wednesday that they couldn't get them a flight to DEN until Saturday at the earliest.

SWA has largely abandoned the suburban airports (save LUV and HOU) in favor of city airports as they too decided to chase more business traffic. Now SWA serves LGA, DCA, etc.
No airline is perfect and with load factors near 90% all the time, there is little room for failure of even one flight in the system.

Have any of the prospective new hires on here taken that "aviation skills assessment" yet? I saw a few people ask about it last week. My understanding is that it's something brand new they just started, so any details would be awesome. Thanks!

It stinks that they're getting people in the door like that, though. I'm sure they're less than pleasurable to fly with.
Thanks for the reply. If I can get in the door, I'll make every effort to be in the "great guy to work with" group.
