Reggie,
Step away from the Kool-aid vat. First, congratulations on passing your PPL exam by 96%. You're well on your way. Now get back to me when you have about 12 years of professional or military experience under your belt. That's the AVERAGE for the SWA pilot new hire. Don't forget to buy your own type rating. And that when you do upgrade to a captain spot you get to put your career on the line in front of a FAA designated medical examiner every six months AND you get to take a check ride once a year. Go sit in on a couple of sim sessions to see how much fun it is.
My biggest concern is the dilution of our brand. I think Mr. Kelly is making big mistake. Bigger than the one he made with ATA. He's destroying the great relationship he has with the employee group that brought him to the prom.

I'm very disappointed with this announcement. So many customers hated the ATA codeshare, were stranded when the company went out of business and felt they diluted our wonderful product. WestJet and now a no-name in Mexico called Volaris? What is Mr. Kelly thinking?
I love and trust our pilots and flight attendants and their safety record and customer service record is second to no one else. It is a slap in the face to us loyal employees to outsource our work to Canada and Mexico and then infer that we are incapable of performing the work ourselves. SHAME ON YOU!!!
