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.

I new guys who had a date after in late Sep or Oct 2001, same.
The guys who classed up on Sep 10 got furloughed (at least once), but are CA's now.

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.
