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.

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.

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.
