It appears that the window for SWA assistant dispatcher openings for external candidates will open tomorrow, Tuesday, March 22nd, and be on the swa.com website at that time. No idea how long the window will be open, and reportedly four (4) will be hired.

Striketh whilst the iron is hot, folks, and good luck!

All the info I had said it would be posted on 3/22. I wish I could assume it would have been up at 12.01am or 08.01am, but neither was the case. ;)

I do see where they've already posted a MX intern position so far today, so I'd check back frequently throughout the day to see when the assistant dispatcher position goes up... ;)

More likely the 200,000 pilots applying online, since their window closes tomorrow on 3/23.

Keep trying... (and I got the link to work again....)
 
It will be posted for 24hours or until 50 qualified applicants apply. Whichever comes first. Best of luck to everyone!
 
Go from being WalterSobchak's senior to being his assistant? No thanks! ;)

Sounds just like all those people that wait until the 11th hour every April 15th to mail in the tax check.
