FedEx. Love it! (And it’s literally only a 1-year pay cut from my CA position at JB, what does that say about JB compensation?) Congrats on Southwest!

I’m not going to suffer a pay cut at all going to SWA. FDX is the only app I’ll be updating from now on. If I never get that call, I’ll still retire a happy man. Congrats to you!

Slimothy, I think that we were in the same class at JetBlue. I am trying my hardest to leave as well. Goodluck at Southwest!

Are you happy with table scraps?

Are you happy just to have a job?

Do you have something on your record that keeps you from getting employed somewhere else?

Are you so beat down that you will learn to love your servitude?

Then you may just be BJ material.

This^^ if you get the call here, grab the type and keep your resumes up to date. Then leave as SOON AS YOU CAN.
This place does not take care about their work groups and especially hate the pilot group. We are too far away from a CBA for me to endorse this job.
Even the juicers are fed up.:cool:

“If it’s so bad....why don’t you leave?” Believe me....I’m trying. Most of us FO's are trying.

Look....I get it. I worked for a failing regional and understand why someone needs a job......any job. But understand that you will be distracted (during our pathetic minimalist training) and will lose focus on the prize. Getting to a well paying successful major with good prospects for the future. THAT is your goal.

Why would anyone come here?. There were NO POSTS warning me when I applied here. NONE WHATSOEVER ��. If I saw them I would give serious thought to wasting ANY time at this place.

No doubt we have issues—-)(lots)(—but the training?



I kind of liked not having stacks and stacks of note cards and a defined oral that wasn’t left up to the examiner to ask how many steps are on the crj pax door...I think 7 but I just said I wasn’t on weight watchers so I don’t count steps.



My only issue was they didn’t leave much room if you did need to repeat a lesson and that totally messed up the schedule.



I thought training was fair and laid back but I’m on the 190 the bus guys always seemed more stressed, if you want the full experience I think(could be wrong) SWA does it old school no AQP.



As for 80 to 90% seems a bit high but this is APC world so I won’t question that number. :)
