I recently did a phone interview and I'm led to believe that they have enough new hires for the time being. They specially mentioned being busy with Airbus transitions for pilots already on property during the first part of next year.

Pilot X can not transition to Airbus FO though while he is within the two year seat lock period. If Pilot X wanted to do that, he would have to wait for the two year lock to expire or the company would have to waive the lock due to company staffing needs.

I'm sure they will pick up again when the big boys start hiring in larger numbers. The exodus to SWA has stopped.

I personally know of 2 that have left since signing. If they keep picking apart the contract more will continue to leave. I think most people were hopefully about the contract but as time goes by we are realizing not much is going to change. Im still considering leaving and I'm in the top 1/3rd.
