Now that AT is done transitioning (and with a constant flow of 200ish retirements) the plan is to smooth out the training throughout the year. With 288 this year and 4-500ish next year the plan is to run a class every couple of weeks.
Using rumor, intuition, and a complex mathematical reverse engineering algorithm, I suspect that a small wave of new invites will continue... every couple of weeks.

Tankerhead,
I hope your right on that one -- anyone not happy at Southwest should leave NOW for greener pastures like Delta, United and American! That'll make my upgrade quicker.

What do you think the new contract will bring for SWA?

14 open seats -- no employees or family/friends listed right now.
Should be good to go.
