Looks like SWA isn't waiting around for the AirTran deal to close.
Attention Higher Power family:
Great news! We have been informed by Southwest Airlines Flight Operations and the People Department that SWA will be posting pilot position openings on Monday, March 7th. Currently, there is an estimated closing of this application window by March 19th (perhaps sooner) followed by 5 weeks of interviews during April and May.
For those of you interested in SWA, we suggest reviewing your resume and listing your Total Time and PIC Turbine time specifically. Military aviators can add .3 hours per sortie to their time. If you came through our B737 type rating program and wish to include it on your resume, a suggested way to do that is to add it in your section entitled Special Training or Professional Training as follows:
B-737 Type Rating: Higher Power Aviation, Ft. Worth, TX
Other resume suggestions are to eliminate “References Provided on Request” since they will certainly request them for the interview. If you have an Accomplishments or Achievements or Awards section in your resume, you might include any areas of involvement where you have demonstrated leadership or made a real difference. You may also have an Interests section of your resume and this is an opportunity to show your passions.
Again, resumes are very important in the new process at Southwest Airlines, so please pay careful attention to this representation of your life and career. Remember that career progression and leadership are key considerations.
We wish all of you the very best in your field of endeavor. Please keep us posted on your career and family developments.
