Default SWA Poolies - What are ya doing?

It looks like its going to be a long time treading water in the pool. Happy to be treading but I'm curious what guys are doing for jobs in the real world while they wait....

Hey Waldo, How's the snow?

My AGR retirement is official this week. Working part-time as a KC-135 SME for a contractor. Also doing some volunteer work here in town.

More importantly, I'm getting to spend time with my family. Life is good!

I'm trying to extend on active duty past my April separation date, trying to get the rest of the year if I can. If not, guess I'll try to get a TR job somewhere, or I guess there's always starbucks...or pimpin...but I hear that's not easy..

Full time with the reserves for now and then probably back to jetblue when the orders run out, unless I can land that Wal-Mart greeter job.

Try Volaris or Westjet. Don't know their pay or work rules, but they're going to get double digit growth.
