this is exactly what happened. Minus the hesitation.

As far as taking care of each other directly SWA definitely has the best group. Management is the group that should feel lucky to have you.

OK, I’m really confused after tonight’s welcome party. Instead of the baby and cane being handed off to the next class, they were passing on a couple of baby bottles. One guy from a couple of classes ago said, “we fixed the ageism problem and this is the new tradition”.

I mean I know it was loud and all, someone please clear the confusion with how baby bottles aren’t ageism and why that previous class is not packed with a bunch of tools???

Did the baby bottles have any formula in them? Asking for a friend.

Heard the welcome party is now off the table at that hotel.

Yeah, you can’t roll into a bar with your own booze, not buy anything from that bar and expect them to let you stay.

I didn't realize things had changed so much. When I came through the welcome party was company-sponsored at the air museum at Love.

Rumor on the street is that the baby went to HR and screamed age discrimination. I don’t think the koolaid day had much to do with it. 25 yo with 40 possible years here. Wagering he’s going to get a type and get picked up to dress like the crew of the Titanic.

Good one on the Titanic shot!!
Yeah, they can have him(or her).
Thanks for the lol

They still do that, too.
The said party is the one the previous class throws for the new class the night before class starts.

There are two separate events. The company hosts everyone for dinner at the GO. Later the same evening the junior class hosts the new hires at their hotel.

They looked at bringing the dinners back to the museum. The museum has increased their price to the point it’s no longer cost effective.

Yikes if true, but sounded like they had a running tab over the course of the night?
