January SWA interviews

[InHot]

Calling all WA-NA-BEES

I just spoke to Jan about my PRIA records (one employer hadn't responded; it's all straightened out now).

I asked about the decision board date. Jan said it is still sked for 20 Feb.

Cross those fingers, say those prayers.

Here we go!

Interview Date

Hi Capt Crunch

I interviewed January 24th at SWA.

 

[Shooter38]

Interviewed 16 Jan, 3/3 contacts called 21 Jan, and 5/6 letter of recommendation writers called by 22 Jan.

I have received emails from 5/14 people in our AM/PM interview group that exchanged emails that have had their contacts called.

I haven't heard of anyone in Jan getting a letter yet (which traditionally has been bad news). Out of probably 45 people.

I have friends who interviewed the first week of Jan (1/2 got calls), and 1 who interviewed 3rd week - no calls.

Haven't heard of any drug tests for Jan interviews. Rumor is they are waiting till after DB to save money and 6 month window.

Cheers,
Shooter38

I interviewed Jan 8th. One of my three current contacts was called. (6 of 12 in my interview group had contacts called).

None of my LOR writers have been called. Not sure if having only one contact called is good, bad or doesn't matter.

I don't think anyone will know anything until after DB. Dumbo said that in the past some people who didn't do so well in interview did well at DB and were hired.

I am just praying I soloed under a lucky star!! Hopefully, we all did.

I wish everyone on this board the best of luck in 11 days or whenever your DB is. Six weeks is a long time to wait but well worth it for the "Job of a Lifetime"

Shooter38,

I interviewed on Jan 10th....references called within the week....called for drug test Jan 29th.....now waiting for SWA DB to meet on Feb 20. Jan said the letters would go out 2 - 3 weeks after decision board meets. I'm expecting to hear something around March 8th or 9th.

I know the wait is tough....sure would be nice to hear something now. Out of the 23 other pilots that interviewed the same day, half responded via email indicating their background checks had been completed. Out of those less than 4 responded about the drug test, but it's still early. During the tour, Dumbo said the drug test no longer indicate that we're "in" as they used to say, so I'm still crossing my fingers.

We had a good group of people for our interview....I wish the best of luck to all of us!

See you in DAL
