After Easter, 17th.

Usually this board is rampant with rumors and speculation around DB time. This month hardly a peep. What's up with that?

 

[Jetjockey]

I think they all moved to www.southwestdecisionboardinfo.com.

Just kidding guys, that is one of the toughest "waits" out there. Good luck for everyone concerned.

 

[Grommet]

I'm waiting patiently, but I'm already afraid to check my mail.

 

[RUNWAYHOG]

My doctor said I would awaken from my coma the morning before the DB. And what do you know, poof, I woke up this morning. The DB must be the 19th. I had a list of things to do before the board and one was to tear down my mailbox and put garlic over my front door to keep out the bad sprits from the mailman.
This is real funny "www.southwestdecisionboardinfo.com". You should'nt mess with post interviwee syndrome. Now I'm scared for life!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Redman]

Awfully quiet on this subject. No news yet from anyone??

 

[Grommet]

At least no news is no bad news

 

[WTFOVER]

Game on.

they met the 19th. Good luck to all.

 

[Grommet]

Did anyone get called today, or do we have to wait until next week?

 

[PunchTheClown]

Yet another who is willing to buy their job at SW. You guys are the Mesa of the majors.

No calls. Maybe they work Saturdays.

You are too gutless to even admit for whom you work or what your background is. Don't attempt to insult those who are willing to do so as you do not merit the right.

 

[PunchTheClown]

Darn...I just got two weeks in the box for being rude...

A sentence is much better when it has a subject, no?

 

[PunchTheClown]

Thats cute barney, nice editing.

 

[Redman]

Anyone hear if calls have started going out?

 

[T2Pilot]

Stay by the phone

It has begun. I just heard from someone who got "the call" today. If I have been watching correctly the past few months we'll have another couple of days of calls then the letters will start showing up. Good luck.

 

[Grommet]

I've heard of two that got called this evening.

 

[RUNWAYHOG]

4/25

No letter, no call today

 

[Grommet]

Same here.

 

[Redman]

4/26 1:00 pm EST


No call, no letter... but that was an aweful long walk to the mailbox.

 

[Grommet]

I just got the letter. The envelope is deceivingly cheerful.

 

[RUNWAYHOG]

I got the letter too! Dated the day of the DB, post marked 2 two days later. I wonder if it even went to the DB!!!!!!!!! Maybe this really isn't the Airline I want to work for.

 

[fandango]

letter from Dallas

Got the letter. Current 737 checkairman/line captain, 12500 tt 6500 pic turbine, brothers a pilot there, lots of recs internal and external, no degree, maybe thats it. I was devistated. I will keep trying to get on there, but it really took the wind out of my sails for a while. I wish the best to all those that made it, and all that will try and keep trying. I think its a terriffic company and all, but its hard to look at those orange and blue ones as I taxi by in our -800. I love my job, but still want that one. Might be greedy, but I guess the grass is always greener, right?

Cheers.

It may take a few days after getting the wind knocked out of ya. Happened to me too. But don't fall into the ranks of "SWA haters" just because the DB didn't pick you. I'm already looking foward to my next shot at it...about 9 months to go. Us 2nd-timers have a better pass rate at SWA...so I've heard.

Kind of makes you want more now...does for me. Keep the faith man.

FINALLY got a call!

Sorry for the guys that recieved letters. I know what you are going through and it sucks. It has taken me six years and four interviews to get in, but being persistant is what it takes. As soon as your year is up, start the updates. I got a call this last time four months after I started updating again.
Keep your head up and remember there is always next time.

To the others that got the call, Congrats.
SEE YOU IN BIG D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Redman]

Does anyone know if calls have stopped going out, or has anyone had the phone ring lately??? It seems a bit different this month with calls and letters going out almost simultaneously. Just curious since I'm still waiting with no letter in the mail today and no calls.

 

[T2Pilot]

I got the letter today. So much for the "military advantage". I've only heard from 2 out of the 11 in my group that were called - rough month. I had thought the interview had gone well. Maybe they saw my posting on Flightinfo that I wanted to work for FEDEX?
