LOL I wish I had a class date at Southwest haha. Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough. I’m waiting on a class date at one of the regionals. I’m just saying if SWA is doing this then this looks like all the other majors and regionals are going to fall in there footsteps with us.

Regionals are far more likely to honor a CJO, simply to save the cost of doing it all over again.
Majors are more concerned about upholding their standards, after some period of time, two things might change.
1) After years, the applicant might not be quite the same person, especially if he goes non-current, gets a DUI, gets fat, gets bitter, etc, etc
2) When hiring resumes, they might have a better pool to choose from, might prefer to throw back what they already caught and try to get their limit of bigger fish.

Before the CJOs go, the cadet programs will get *******canned.... There is a cost. If regionals are thinking they’ll pull back hard on hiring they simply won’t need cadets and/or the programs.
It’s what I’m watching to get a bead on the future. Today they still exist.
