If you have min quals, I think they mostly want people who won't quit when offered a CJO at another airline that's offering CA upgrades in attractive bases at the 1 yr point. A friend of mine got A320 CA at LAX at United after 1 yr. SWA really doesn't want anyone who might consider that to be a good deal.

Lmao. Then they’re smoking some strong stuff down at HQ. I mean, who would want to upgrade (or have the option to anyway) after only a year at a legacy carrier into a more comfortable airplane.

Good god, they need to get over their egos. Want to retain people in this environment? Then you’d better open that checkbook because a good proportion are going to bail. For someone junior it’s an absolute no brainer.

CJO on Dec 1st here. No class date as of yet for me either.

I read your post w/o seeing who the author was. After reading, i was not surprised to see it was none other than you.
No one can ever accuse you of having a lack of persistence.

While I disagree of his assessments of the critter. He is spot on with how screwed up and head in the sand the GO is. They rely on Herbs legacy and the CULTure that used to be.

In the interview package there are 6 forms to fill out, most of these are PRIA release forms. My background is ALL military, will i need to send these forms in still? Or just send in the NDR and release form?

Yes you still need to send them all in.

I was hired at USAir for a July 3rd 1989 class date. Piedmont Airlines was part of USAir by this point but still operating separately. They had a class on July 5th.
Those two days made the difference between getting furloughed or not.

THanks, it is my understanding that the USAF does not participate in the FAA records sharing. All other carriers have had me just put NA or not fill them in at all.
