Geeez, touchy touchy... All I said was is that is eerily similar to pay for training. I didn't say it IS... Personally, I think it sucks that SWA requires it ahead of time. And... I don't think it's worth it. JMO. Flame away all you SWA guys. You got your gig.. I got mine. I wouldn't trade, and maybe you wouldn't either. I couldn't care less one way or the other.
A) There's no "touchy touchy" from my end. B) Your quoting of my post was originally addressed to highsky.

hmmmm, with the defensive language in your post, me thinks you're posting under two separate APC accounts.

Nice.. arrogant post. I hope it doesn't bite you in the arse someday. remember.. all the things you mentioned were once proudly enjoyed at DAL. Even the Roman empire fell too... So, enjoy it while it lasts.. but as you rub everybody's nose in it, don't expect sympathy when it's your turn in the box.
Hilarious.

Hey...no need to worry. The SWA People Department and the pilots who interview applicants do an excellent job of weeding out bad attitudes and bitter people like MILPILOT. They would blow him out of the water pronto whether he has a type or not. My guess is that he interviewed without the type and was notified that his sterling personality just wasn't a fit for Southwest.
I know that it is easy to pass on Southwest. Why bother with the best salary in the business, best working atmosphere and a secure future when you can choose another avenue that offers endless chaos (furloughs, low pay, pay reductions, outsourcing to regional carriers, nasty relations with management) Who wants such a boring career?!
I would probably take that desk job you were talking about. Best bet is a cubicle without a phone so you won't have to work and play well with others.

That's how I took it.
BTW, I went to HPA in Oct 08 (nice timing!) and faithfully update my SWA app each month. I can't wait to get a shot at working there.

If he has to pay for his job...he probably has to pay for his women too!!!

Tankerhead, you're right on the money. I was just being sarcastic with a buddy of mine. It just blows my mind that someone would not be willing to make a small investment in order to land a great job. I guess these people are the same ones that don't invest in the stock market? I guess you could buy/sell naked puts/calls (it's the options market) without any investment, but if you're wrong it's gonna cost ya big (see any comparison to landing a good airline job?). Good luck when the SWA interview happens.
