So you’re saying there’s a chance?

No Roff, it’s a 20 year upgrade. It’s 10 years to be a plug FO in ATL.

could be worse, could have resigned from your old job then class cancelled or got let go, I had two friends at two carriers that that had happened to.

When I next give advice to an aspiring pilot, it will be, "Don't quit your current job until the last second possible. Take vacation, call in sick, do whatever to stay 'employed' until you're as far through training as you can be."

Hope you make it here and sooner than later. Hope you're still employed someplace!

Had a friend leave here in Feb for Delta. 4 days from his checkride was sent home. Crazy industry we're in.

Is that a furlough, firing, employment deferment? Any idea?

A paid but somewhat stressful vacation.

Well it looks like my hope has turned to despair. I just got a call from SWA hiring to let me know they are rescinding our CJO's and we will have to re-apply at a later dating when they start hiring again. This is in stark contrast to the multiple emails and webinars they have sent out to poolies in the past couple of months reassuring us our CJO's will never expire, and we will not be required to maintain currency. They went as far as convincing guys that if they need to find a non-flying gig to pay the bills for a while, they will have a job waiting for them when classes start up no matter what. I'm not sure what has changed, but to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

My buddy had his CJO cancelled today. I thought that wasn’t going to happen?

Same here. Originally told there would be a job waiting for us whenever classes started in the future, but that changed for everyone with a phone call today. Definitely a disappointment, but I know there are many guys out there on the street, or sweating furlough risk right now. I'm blessed with a good job at the moment, so trying to stay positive, but was really looking forward to joining the team. I wish everyone at SWA the best, and hope you and the airline all come through this well...and quickly!
