Some Luv At Swa?

Selling yourself, I found, was the hardest thing to put into words. Hard to explain emotions...ESPECIALLY when you're on the spot. All the "war" stories were fairly easy to explain...

Fastone- Here is a quick break down from last 8 months that I am privey too- 2 buds interviewed last fall (non-IP), both military got shot down, my bud who has been a IP at my airline for (hold on... 3 months!) was interviewed in late Jan and got hired last week. Coincidence? SWA seems to like the IP route. I know there are exceptions but with these guys you have to look at the realistic odds.

Lot of bros (and sisters!) with a 737 type on their cert and no job! So plan accordingly!! Cheers-

Guys -

Thanks for the replies. I just got in from another 7.5 hours of PIC jet time - I am worn out, but was glad to see the information posted here. At the rate that i am going, I should be setting at 1500 PIC by the end of April... I have been in contact with PD at SWA for over four years now and they have been following my progress... I am hoping for the best! I just need a shot at it and i think that if given the chance, I can present myself as truly wanting to be a SWA member and why... I know that they are interviewing guys without the types right now and that they have interviewed a lot lately that have been turned down and as a matter of fact, I know some that have been turned down and can't figure out the equation that is used... I know several that have made it in too... I think what it all boils down to us being able to sell yourself as wanting to be a swa family member from the start and being able to prove that you will fit into their equation...

More thoughts?

you sound ready for SW..........7.5 hours in a day? wares me out thinking about it

Yeah they did

Never had it.

I have seen the pics in HQ.

To the first post, Just had a friend get hired on last week and he had about 1500 Jet PIC
3500 Total
737 Type
Of course the 4 year degree.

Have another friend up for an interview in March sometime with about the same times but a little more total time.

I have heard that with the type you can get an interview after 1400 PIC turbine. Thats about where both of my friends got it.

Good luck, I hope to get there soon as well-maybe 2 or 3 years.

Oh yeah, don't burn any bridges!http://forums.flightinfo.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
