Default SWA April Classes

Just got a memo in my box saying there will be 3 classes in April with 24 in each. The dates are the 2nd, 9th and 23rd. First class and part of the second class will be retiree's that have been rehired.

Huron, are you in the pool or already on board?

Already on board. They put a flyer in all of the PHX pilots boxes yesterday afternoon.

If they keep that rate up, I may make it in 2008. Not holding my breath though.

I hate you guys having to be on pins and needles. Hiring pools suck. They should hire what they need and thats it.

Who's on pins and needles? Keep those sharp objects away from me whilst I'm here in the "pool," might pop my floaties and I'll have to start treading water, again....

Sabre, noticed your avatar. Were you a greyhound driver?

Just to confirm what has already been posted. PD told me today that 3 classes of 24 each in April are confirmed--2, 9, and 23 Apr. First class is planned for 24 60+ guys who were welcomed back. The other two are slated for poolies.

Biggest challenge is that given the short suspense, PD is scrambling to get the old guys ready (drug testing, medicals, etc.) for the 2 April class. Some may not be available in time. PD is still figuring out a plan if they can't get all the 60+ guys done in one class.

I was told that PD is hoping to start calling poolies to confirm class dates sometime next week. Good luck to all.

Are these guys are going to the bottom of list or retaining their old number?

By law they must start at the bottom of the list. Year 1 pay and schedule. Only advantage they had was to jump to the head of the line for training classes.
