There’s very few problem children at SWA but we sure don’t need another one.

Just be honest on your probie report forms and do them on your EFB... though I gotta say, I'm yet to fly with a new hire I didn't like. You can train and learn energy management, but attitude-wise, all have been beyond reproach. Everything else comes with time. So if this guy is the problem child with ****poor attitude, he'll stick out like a sore thumb and will be known instantly. People like that can't help themselves...

I appreciate your optimism but unfortunately that’s not always the way it works. Case in point….the problem child OAK captain that was a PIA for years before she crashed it into LGA.

Yeah, but this guy might be in the acceptable villain demographic so…. might want to change his behavior.

[QUOTE=5tools;3735004 It's my understanding you cannot go to managment as pilot unless first you work for SWA managment training program, SWAPA. And you guys wonder why you cannot get a ever decent contract.[/QUOTE]

For the record, I think you're mostly trolling and pulling everyone's chain. It's all good..

That being said, your statement up there has a lot of merit. We are currently the poster child for this nonsense. Who's the lead negotiator against us again? That person is not the only one. I don't blame the company for this phenomenon. With such low hanging fruit, I'd do same in their shoes! In "a business" war, any legal advantage is fair game.
