As a somewhat junior narrowbody captain, 36 years old, flying for a small LCC, I don't think that's bad at all. Yes, I flew some OT and forfeited some of my days off. FedEx or Southwest wages? Nope...but it's not too bad. Our contract is up next year and hopefully we'll be able to achieve significant gains without earning another "battlestar pin."
*not trying to create a discussion about which airline is best. Just a point to those rejected and frustrated by SW that there are other descent options out there, be it DL, AA, NK, B6, etc...Personally, all things considered, I wouldn't accept a job there even if they handed it to me for free. |

It was simply an application pool flush, JUST LIKE USAir DOES, and not unlike AA did when they sent out TBNK, reapply in 6 months. |

Are we talking about the same airline?

Fine. It was amusing, no matter what this circumstance. This thread has lost any luster it once had. (Besides, I was simply echoing what shoelu said anyway.)

This is the perfect thread. People tripping over themselves to argue about an April's fool joke, AFTER it was pointed out.

I WASN'T flaming you. I was agreeing with something you wrote. It's much ado about NOTHING. There was NO conditional offer of employment extended.

What's the difference between the other airlines that that leave the window open continuously vs. one that opens and closes the window? My thinking is the TBNT email followed by immediately re-opening the window is a very positive thing. Since Oct, plenty of people have picked up offers with AA, DAL, UAL. Why waste the time and energy on extending an Interview offer to someone that isn't interested anymore. |
It's sad to hear that a fully qualified pilot with "enlisted" military experience was not afforded better treatment. Up untill the 80's there was a law requiring favored treatment for veterans. Newt and co-herts did away with that, along with another requirement of the same conditions for former airline personnel. it's really had nothing to do with actual experience or qualifications for a long time. Yes, there is a price for this situation. Delta saw it in the 80's, American in the 90's and FedEx cannot seem to land a DC-10 without major structural damage. IF airlines or any corporation were forced to pay a stiff enough price for their policies, a policy change would probably occur. However, as a case in point, the airline that ran two inexperienced pilots ragged leading to the deaths of all onboard was allowed to hide in bankruptcy. Just a thought, enlisted veterans fought for their country, officers fought for advancement and career.
