Are you one of those guys who thinks that by anonymously defending SWA to the hilt on a forum, you will help your chances for an interview (when they're hiring in another 3-4 years)?

Good luck to you, sir.

nope. interviewed, offered to "continue the process,",entered into the pool, and I byapssed until the time ran out. But thanks for trying.

good job, great people, but try to follow along here: there are some (many) of us for whom SWA is not the end-all, be-all.

cheers

No, Cinderella, I don't live in a fantasy world.

I trust my good contacts will snag me the interview when and if the time comes.

Papa Johns is running a pretty sweet deal on large pizzas right now. I hear the MSP controllers like Canadian bacon, and jalapenos...

Not exactly. I heard a LaGuardia ground controller slow down the taxi speed of a SWA jet the other day ... and he wasn't friendly about it either.

I agree. Lots of cash and needing an influx of ETOPS 737's.

Also; strange as this might be; perhaps the SWA guy had a flow time to LGA/DEN etc., so they were ushered to the front of the line. Seen it with Delta guys and USAirways guys all the time.

If its just pizza that does it, why don't you red tails start doing the same thing? Since you guys have such deep pockets, and welcome a bidding war with SWA over Sun Country. Am I wrong?
So, bribery is OK?
