A long time ago there was an thread that covered the basics on the "interview to hire" ratio. Ran a couple of searches for it, but no luck. I believe the ratio was something like 4 folks interviewed for each hired pilot. Various reasons for the other 3 not getting hired---ranging from experience a bit too low to the plain fact that the person wasn't a good fit for the SWA personality.
Any inputs on what statistics the "new interview" might bring about? Should be folks with tons of capability lined up, especially when the computer starts racking and stacking people according to "points" (or whatever the correct term ends up being). That tells me that the ratio might be narrowed down a bit. Admittedly, there are people overly qualified as well as those who've just made the mins (but SWA has shown the mins are as good as anything if the person is the right fit). From the above 2 posts, the numbers may be 1200 interviews in 2004 to get the approximately 400 pilots...then continuing into the next year.
Anyone have a clue what the lovely ladies at Recruiting might be planning?
