Success story...
 

Talked to my buddy the other day who is a 170 CA, and must say I am quite impressed with his career progression. He got hired at 21, upgraded on the 170 at 23, and now at just over 26 he has 2000 PIC in the 170.. oh ya.. and he just got hired by SWA.. at barely 26 years of age.

So for all the doom and gloom being posted on this and other boards, it was nice to see a close friend "make it".. at least for now

He's got one helluva career in front of him - Congrats!

Hope to be there myself shortly ;-)

Not to be SkyHigh here or downplay your friend's achievements (Because lord knows I would -LOVE- to land a job at SWA that quick). Your friend's successs story could QUICKLY turn in to one of those typical doom and gloom stories. All it takes is SWA taking a nosedive, or some unforseen world changing event and his beautiful career that he has to look forward to could come to a crashing halt... I really hate to agree with the doom and gloomers but you have to realize that they have a very valid point... most of them anyways...

What are his/her intials? Congrats to your friend!

Do you lay awake at night thinking about all the doom and gloom? Man, you've spent to much time at Riverside.

If i felt like this, i wouldnt come out of the house. Dont **** on his parade. Good for the original poster's friend. FLY SAFE T.C.

awesome for your bud, good to hear something positive...I'd say he's in the minority, but hey...one heckuva deal.

Impressive indeed. btw, did he have any connections at SWA??

Luck
 

I am sure the guy jumped through every hoop and fulfilled every obligation to get there but all this story demonstrates is that timing and luck are everything.

Every week someone also wins at powerball as well so buy those lottery tickets!!

hhahaah I love you man, you always find a way to rain on someones parade, but the sad thing is, is you are usually right.............:p
