Let me rather congratulate
you for knowing so much about them, I wonder why
. I personally know some of their staff and talking of tickets, that's supposed to be their benefit for use any day. The rest as I said earlier was from their own pockets. Info from a reliable source: Flight cancellation is normal at SW during holidays and was not due to crew shortage. Quote: "Lastly the part of "does not intervene with pool's career path" Why is there an aa pilot on the B732 fleet that never flew any domestic a/c as a commander before elligble for promotion as the ops manual clearly states?" The AA flying the fluffy has a frozen ATPL because he does not meet all the requirements to command the Beech but can be reviewed for a promo. Who ever gave you the glimpe of their FOM should get you an update (illegal though).
