This is correct. I got the call for the 10 Sep class and I'm a Dec pool date.

I haven't heard of any retirements since the rule change...I hope you're right though...I have been flying with quite a few guys as of late that have no intentions of leaving at 60...I'm not trying to bring spirits down or anything but GK spoke to the new hire class on 7/30 and said right now the plan is for zero growth for next year..his words..of course all things can change on a moments notice. Still a great place to be even on the bottom of a very slowly growing list...just keepin it real

Yea, I would like to see some hard evidence on this? If this was true I don't think upgrade would be up to over 7 years of seniority.

Bottom,

Did you come from another airline before SWA? Mind if I PM you?

I dont want to hijack the thread, but did you have recurrent in May. I think I spoke to you.

I dont think thats acurate either, but at the same time there are a few guys getting out. IN HOU today there was a notice that one of the Captains there is doing a retirement flight on the 27th (HOU AUS or SAT).

Can't, you don't have the minimum 25 posts to PM. I was hoping to see what you had to say about being at the bottom there and etc...
