Morbid curiosity. Upgrade times?

[ZapBrannigan]

Wait, so there isn't any CA currently hired since Jan 2014?

No not even close. If I had to guess I'd say the most junior Captain was around a 2010 or 2011 hire. We can see their employee number but not their DOH. It's well senior to 2014 though because there was a gap in hiring between 2011 and 2013.

Most junior SWA captain on the seniority list appears to be from a June 2011 class - just upgraded this month.

SWACrew > Reports > Pilot System Seniority. Most junior one on the list with a Captain Eff. Date.

Thanks! Wasn't sure where to look for that!

You don't come to SWA for the quick upgrade... that's for sure.

The flag ties and khaki shorts?

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

Nah, you go to Southwest if you want to constantly hear about how they did things in the Air Force.

Did you feed Chloe yet?

What about rolling coal and anti-vax rants?

 

[Crockrocket94]

Ya know, I haven't heard any coal rolling in quite some time.

Same. But guard is now full of Brandon comments. Ugh. I’d rather have meowing.

WEIRDOS

Hang in there. There's a generational change coming that is a whole lot more centrist than the old guard.

We'll be back to meowing in no time.

My theory is that the kids at the regionals right now can't go 45 seconds without someone "liking" something they posted on Instagram, so the meow BS is just a way for them to get noticed and acknowledged until they return to earth and the warm embrace of good broadband.

 

[Crockrocket94]

I have yet to fly with anyone in my time at any place that has ever said anything on guard...

Just start telling them “Brandon won” and see what happens.

Same here and same goes for my last shop. I’m really curious who the culprits are.

I would murder my copilot and if it was a line check, it wouldn’t go well for the crew for jackassery on guard.

I had one FO do it at my previous gig and I told him if I saw (or even heard him) do it again, my next call would be to the CP's office. At my current shop I saw one captain pull a "YEERRRR ONNNN GUARRRDD!!!" going in to LAX at about 1500 feet (as pilot flying). I just gave him a ton of grief about his crappy landing.
