Southwest Interview DONT'S

[AlbieF15]

PW...

Your first mistake was asking for info for your husband. Let him do the work. He's going to take a beating on the boards for having his "momma" look after him.

Second--this is message board. There are places where you can get a more serious, professional response--but FI is the wild wild west of message boards. You have to learn to filter through the chaff.

Third--I think you've learned that men all pigs and everything from your neckline to your sandals sends us a signal. Consider yourself warned...

Just thought I would bring attention to the posting on page one....

FYI we are doing this together. She is the one that signed up for the forum...I have the questions.

Thank you all for your help!

Pilot's wife (and pilot) .....

Be yourself......that is.....the "yourself" SWA wants you to be.

Good luck!

 

[Fallingbrick]

WOW...WHAT HAPPENED? I thought this was a professional forum with professional adults.

Thank you to those that have offered serious advice.

PW, this is flightinfo and I’m not sure who told you that you would get serious answers, but I do know that they lied to you. Any useful information you could hope to gain from any thread here never makes it past page one. Try the PM feature and I think you will have better luck. I understand that AlbieF15 is quite good at helping people prepare. Bet of luck with the interview.

I apologize, just in a good mood lately!

 

[SWAdude]

On a serious note.....

Don't try to be funny. We are not looking for comedians. Having a good sense of humor doesn't mean we are looking for people that can make others laugh. But find the humor in themselves and others.

This board is for entertainment first and solid intel a very distant second.

PW. First let me suggest that you drop a ten spot and get your own FI alias.

You need no other advice than mine, matter of fact, I broke the flippin code for ya. What you do with the info is up to you.

So grow some balls and pay 10 bucks for your own online name dude!!!

 

[pilots-wife]

Thank you, I will take that into consideration. Might I suggest some training in manners?

 

[radarlove]

I suggest answering your cell phone (twice) during the interview.

Did that really happen at SWA, or is it an urban legend?

 

[Huck]

I knew a guy (Ernie B., you out there?) who was interviewing at UAL. A secretary walked him down to the simulator, and she was cute with a tight sweater on. Ernie was trying to cop a look and walked straight into a corner. Dam' near knocked himself out.

He didn't get the job....

How about some sense of humor training... Dude, dudette, best of luck, but come on, letting your wife speak for you, that will get you real far...

 

[SWA/FO]

Be yourself......that is.....the "yourself" SWA wants you to be.

and if you can't pull that one off, there is always UPS.

Jokes and gimmicks don't work. What works are the answers you give to the TMAAT questions. The one liners just before then are counter productive...

 

[ferlo]

Jesus,

It's just getting a job, not joining a cult. Play the game.

I love watching you two go round and round. :beer:

Don't adjust your privates and then stick your hand out for a hand shake greeting.

Don't look down any sweaters

Don't catch 3 different size fish when you tell your TMAAT stories

Don't stand in the closet for too long if you are directed there by mistake.
