Anybody that stupid out there???

 

[crjdude]

Uhhh.....okay. Whatever.

Does anyone know how much turbine PIC it's taking to get called for an interview at Southwest these days?

Thanks.

Yeah, why is that a stupid request? Just some guy looking for gouge on current competition.

From a friend of mine who got it from the HR department when he was at Higher Power:
1300 PIC Turbine with the type
1700-1800 without the type

There is a podcast with this info on the net too.

Good luck

In my class this year it appeard that the average civilian had about 6-8000 TT, >2000 hours TPIC (prop and/or jet), a four year degree from somewhere, non Check Airman, 737 type before interview, average age about 35. The PD says that most Civilians have >1700 TPIC. Hope this helps.
Military was what you would expect. 2000TT, IP, 4yr degree, mostly fighter guys.
Our class was 50/50 Mil/Civ.

You could be correct, but I doubt it, SWA has hired many people with only Tprop time. You need to find out if you made it to the decision board. If so, then your experience might be holding you back. If you didn't make it to the board, (no background check accomplished, no refs called, etc) then you need to work on your interview skills (call Albie early next time).

Good Luck,

Hey.. Are you off IOE yet? How's the flying?

 

[Whataburger]

I am done with IOE. Short and sweet. 3 days off after training, then a 26hr 4day. Great check airman. He told me not to touch anything dusty or red, and beyond that he said have fun. My second leg was into BHM, but we were only there for 18 minutes. Mentally I was still in SDF. The flying is great, the FA's are great, and the days go fast. I had two easy days book-ended with two busy days.
Day 1 - MDW-SDF-BHM-TPA-ISP
Day 2 - ISP-MDW-LAS-SJC
Day 3 - SJC-LAS-PVD
Day 4 - PVD-MDW-OMA-MDW-DTW-MDW
13 days of work this month. No more 1leg days, 3hr sits, or 50hour layovers, thank goodness. The -300 panel reminds me of the Dash. Hell, so does some of the flying.
MDW based this month. Then to OAK for a few months. They are hiring 44 this month then 3 classes of 20 in April.
I'll zing you an email.
