I think that everyone has to do that stuff NOW, post Sept. 11.

Well, we don't fingerprint people till they are hired on. It cost money to fingerprint someone, like $250 per person. But since WN does it electronitlly, its differant.

Fingerprinting

It costs them nothing extra to take the prints. They won't submit them unless you pass the interview and they plan to hire you.

I went through the same thing. You have to remember, this is NOT a typical airline. Don't expect to go to training with in two weeks like the other airlines do. This is the beginning of a at LEAST 6 month process. If you didn't pass, you will get the "Thanks, but no thanks" letter by the second week (after your one on one). If you don't, your in, pending your background check. I know it sucks, but this is how SW operates. Here's a good website for you:

Lots of info for new hires and those that are in the pool.

Good luck!
