“Yesterday [Larry] got offered a job with Southwest. I don’t know any details except that he drove about 4 hours last night somewhere to get a drug test. Ya think he wants the job?”
Larry II clarifies:
“On Monday I was contacted by the Southwest Airlines People Department advising me that I had been approved by the SWA Decision Board for employment with the airline. The results of my complete background investigation are still pending but assuming they can’t turn up anything that the Top Secret military investigators couldn’t I will begin working for Southwest in January 2005. Initial ground training is 6 weeks long after which I will begin flying revenue flights immediately. My plan is to be based in Baltimore and to moveour residence in that direction (if not all the way to Massachusetts) by the summer! We are all very excited about these developments – but no more so than myDad who will finally get “The Pass” and start enjoying all those free flights that I’ve been promising him for the last decade…!!”
Wow, congratulations! Free tickets for all! You deserve it.
I love Southwest! I hope you guys move to Baltimore….it isn’t far from DC.
That’s great! Just don’t tell Leo Mullin you’re going to Southwest!

They are really privileged to be getting you. I’m excited you will be close by.

Larry, I hope it works out for you. I like flying Southwest. The people are always very friendly and efficient. Kathy
Seeing my son’s lifetime dream on the brink of realization is better than Christmas Eve – and everyone knows how I LOVE that day!!
