Here's the deal. If he is a real life SWA captain that is reason enough to stay away from him. SWA hires directly from the prison system. No criminal conviction, no job at SWA. All SWA captains are known carriers of rare and hard to cure STD's, and are required to posses a servants heart, presumably in a jar of formaldehyde, in their flight bag, at all times. Heck they even brag about it in their inflight magazine. "Our employees have a servants heart.".

Maybe if he is a SWA captain he's just trying to collect another heart for his jar? Probably didn't think of that did you? He'll be all nice and sweet and then just as you think it couldn't get and better, out comes the company issued hatchet and WHACK! Another heart for the jar. I think they get a bonus if they have more than one servants heart... I'm not even going to get into their required yearly dead kitten quota!

BUT

In all seriousness this guy sounds like a complete fake and anybody who does that kind of thing on the net to get attention is going to be a LOOOOOOSER!!! Do what you want but my advice is to get away and stay away from this guy!

FlyInFashion

Wow, thanks for all the advice!

The truth is that I have been kind of riveted by the fact that someone would make up so much about their lives.
He literally knows everything about being a pilot for SWA, and yet he can't send me any tangible proof.
I get not wanting to risk your job, but he sent me a photo of his "FO and his FO's girlfriend sitting in the cockpit" that he claims he took.
He's sent me photos of just the cockpit.
He's sent me links of ground crew "taping him leaving BUR" or wherever, over YouTube. Of course, you can't make out whoever is actually taxiing the plane...

Pretty sure he isn't married, because at one point we talked on the phone every night for at least 2 hours.
Before things just didn't line up...

As far as the Facebook thing, I think it's a generational thing. I add people I have only met once. I have over 900 "friends" on there, some I have meet through online forums such as this one.... It's how we communicate now. It's not uncommon for people to meet that way.
I suppose with meetings such as this, it is probably not uncommon to find plenty of trolls either.

But again, more than anything, I just want to get to the bottom of who the heck this guy even is.

Oh and according to him, Crew badges at SWA are only pilots. F/A's have badges that say "In Flight" something or other and line guys/mx/dispatch don't get the same badge or any, I think??

I hate kittens. I really should find a SWA pilot, IRL.

Pretty sure we should be warning him about this woman. If you can tell he's being that sketchy already and you 1. Still want to meet him and 2. Are asking about it on an online forum, you're nuts and his life is in jeopardy. Meet people in real life

LOL. I am not nuts. But I am sure it is easy across a computer screen, to call someone nuts.
Love it.
I have reverse image searched this guy too, and nothing comes up. He has over 1000 photos on his Facebook page, tons of him. I have been friends on FB with him since 2008.
When I went through my divorce last fall, he private messaged me and told me if I ever wanted to date, that he would love to take me out.
We did have at least one person in common, but she is long gone and not on Facebook anymore.
Anyway, I love all these responses.
Coming to a forum was literally my last ditch effort. I felt if I could get some answers to some of the details he has given me, it might help determine if he was legit or not.
Anyway, thanks for the nuts comment, that was awesome. I am sure if I was your daughter you would be saying the same thing.
Lastly, people don't meet IRL where I live. This city is too big, and people are too crazy....these days lots and lots of people meet online.
Weird that you would say that, since you are active on an online forum...um, what do you think this community is?
hahaha!
Thanks though!

Please don't go....it would be nice to have another female on here!

you realize pilots spend those 3-6 nights a week in hotels or crash pads, away from their wives, and can talk for 2 hours at night right? And his wife might be a nurse on the night shift the 2 nights he is home.

Heck I'm married and if I wanted to I could easily call you all times of day/night that would make you think I'm single.

FlyIn Fashion, let us know how many PM's you get from these pervs on APC asking you to be their FB friend, after telling you you are nuts

Peel back the layers, one by one through good questioning (as you are doing). Remember, how you start is usually how you continue and how you finish. There is a lot of fog surrounding this situation. If he can't answer basic questions, then he might be hiding something, or might be the cautious type.
None the less, I think you already know what to do about this situation.

Okay, big increase in chicklets here, won't be long before they'll wanna put up curtains, flower pots, n'stuff...
