400 to 500 of those same names are in the pools at Big-3. Those that do go to SW will likely go to Big-3 if Big-3 calls within 6 months of starting SW indoc.

100 or so are "diehard" SW'ers with parents who work for SW or a spouse who works there, etc.

I don't seem many of the 600 waiting for the WN class date if one of the other 3 calls. This is not a slam on WN, just a realistic look at where they are in the movement opportunities among the majors.

No doubt, well I doubt 500/600 in two pools. The fact remains that you currently cannot even apply at SWA. Boeing delays will further reduce the need to hire.

Also the competition likely got much more fierce with JB/NK court decision, F9s airline model, FedEx & UPS, & Deltas reduction. All we need is age 67 and the hiring wave is over.

We should start flexing which level we each got to on the AA flying segment of the assessment.

No doubt that any 10 YO could have doubled my score.

Glad I beat the rush of apps. Applied back in Nov and interviewed in Dec. Currently waiting for a class date. Was told to expect May timeframe due to no classes in March and April already being full.

Perfect opportunity to transition to AA for all DFW/FLL based NK pilots! NPGA job fair is coming up in FEB and WAI soon after. I heard in the past AA has given CJO's on the spot. This might help some get in the door quciker.

100 or so need to get their head examined.
