Southwest just pulled the plug in the pool...
Well boys and girls, looks like this it! The poolies at Southwest just got there CJO's cancelled. It appears all of us waiting for new hire class dates are next. Can't say I didn't see this coming but gee whizz man! If we still have our CJO's after this fiasco I'm probably going to the casinos in Vegas. Hope y'all got stable jobs right now.

That REALLY sucks! I don't get it, you all successfully interviewed.. What's the harm in leaving the pool where it is? Sorry to hear man

Typical to flush the pool in an extended downturn. There are exceptions, I was surprised to learn that some pre 9/11 NWA poolies retained their status (with DL) for many years.

Man, I guess. I can't imagine getting that dream job CJO and then having to start over later

Right? You were, presumably, the most qualfied before hell froze over; and it's not like anyone else in this market is going to get more competitive, relatively speaking.

To go from this in October:
"Currently a CFI and have about 500 more hours before I reach ATP mins."
...to this in March:
"I am or I guess was a new hire in one of the upcoming classes. I did not find out about the hiring freeze from Envoy, but from you guys/gals on APC and my friends in this airline. I wish they would come out with an email or phone call telling us what the heck is going on for all of us. So far, us new hires are still left in the dark and it has been nothing but crickets."
...to being flushed out of the Southwest pool in May would be interesting to say the least.
