New openings at SWA

[SKC]

I think the "official" line is ~1 year, but it's totally dependent upon growth. Most in the current class will probably upgrade within 6 months.

Jake, you forgot to tell them about the free valet parking, the ice cream machine in each pod, and complimentary subscription to SI.

...and the pizza parties every wed.

So they must be pretty strict about that 3 years at a 121, right? I have 3 years of experience, but two of it spent at a 135 fractional, and I didn't get a call for the position.

Those are minimums.

From what I understand, they have almost 100 applicants that met the requirements for the anticipated 6-9 positions. All the externals from the current class have at least 5 years of 121 experience, FYI.

I have a phone interview with SWA coming up this week. Any pointers from anyone????

 

[SKC]

It'll be a rep from the People Dept and will likely center around your work history and what you think you can offer SWA, etc. Very little dispatch specific things, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured it must be HR doing the phone interview.

High confidence intel is that this round will be about 9 total.
Another round likely will happen near the end of the year for an early 09 arrival.
