OttoA10 - I thought about going to another 737 school that was a little cheaper, but some people told me that Higher Power was really good with Southwest...meaning Southwest actually visits each class and there is a long standing relationship between the two companies. Do you think that really matters in the end?
C17MooseDriver - I actually thought the same thing that I would actually enjoy the ups and downs...at least for awhile. Being a C-17 guy they long cruise is starting to kill me! Takeoff and landings are the fun part where you are actually doing something, I am sure I will change my mind but for now I was glad to read your reply.

Being a AF cargo guy I am no stranger to flying long trips at night. I'd probably say at least half of my military flying has been at night, and I have to say when I get home from a trip at least the next day and most of the time to following day too is pretty rough. At the same time doing 6 legs in one fly period, which I have never done, seems pretty rough to.

The Airforce 3 hour preflight will seem silly and redundant, which it is.

Oh great, now what am I going to do to kill time before my next C-130 flight? I know, submit a letter to the AF Redundant Department of Redundancy. I won't miss the AD show 5 hours before a tac mission. Can't wait for common sense in the commercial world--and don't bust my bubble and tell me it doesn't exist!

Don't forget that the AF created a process to designed to remove processes in AFSO21. Maybe you could write a recommendation to the AF that they should AFSO21 the AFSO21 process. Then your process to remove the process that removes processes would allow you to process yourself through the award process which would allow you to outprocess with processing proficiency.

It's not bad, it's just that inefficient. I'm guessing that the higher ups secretly use the book Catch-22 as a reference guide in how to run the Air Force. AFSO21 is a process they've put a ton of money and manpower into to slim down other processes. I'm not exactly sure how creating a process to remove processes really accomplishes anything. But I digress, let's talk about flying!

With SWA not currently hiring, it's a difficult decision on whether you should put down some $$$ for a type or not.
