The one lukewaffe kernel in my class was a raging douche. I was the baby at 33. Our Owl was 59 I think.

Bruised ego that someone dare leave SWA. I seem to recall that sort of attitude oh…..about a decade ago.

I remember when the DEN Chief fired a pilot in the jetway for going to United. He turned in his two week notice and was fired at the end of his 3 day. SWAPA had to threaten a lawsuit to keep his medical benefits active until his two week notice expired.

Can a base chief pilot just "fire" someone in a jetway? after a two week resignation was already submitted?

Isn't there an HR process and a minimum bar for employee performance aka failed checkrides, fraud/abuse of sick leave, etc?

Got to be more to the story than that. Chief Pilot’s don’t have that much authority anymore. It’s not like Pan Am in the 30s.
