SWA April decission board

[k3mbbc]

Oreo,

Most of the time it is the Chief Pilots who call. My board was called by the People Department, and I was called on a Saturday.

 

[skyflier]

I was told this time was brutal, but I had no idea how brutal it was. Good luck everyone!!!

 

[flypixs]

You were told that what was brutal?

 

[Charlie Brown]

Good luck guys. Have a few cold ones or a glass of wine and chill. You will get a call soon enough. It is an amazing call to get. Life changing.

 

[Bob_Sacamano]

I have to say I'm kind of surprised. I thought at least SOME of us would have gotten some good news by now. Hopefully, the calls will start soon. Good luck, one and all.

 

[fiel12]

Anyone know if they do call, would they leave a message or do they keep trying until they talk to you?

I had a CP leave a message on my machine with a call back number. I got the good news when I returned the call.
A week later, I was contacted by Diane explaining my background check process. I was told this process could take 4-6 weeks and no class date would be given to me until its completion. I was called with a class date 3 months later.

Good Luck Everyone!
You will LUV it here!

FWIW I heard from a SWA F/O tonight that they were not going to start calling people or sending letters out until some time next week. He said there were 84 out of 220 hired which is the same in a previous post.

 

[Captzaahlie]

I have a pilot buddy that has put off going to this up comming SWA open house in LAS because he was recently told that you had to either have a 4 year degree or a 737 type now to get called in to the interview with SWA. ( he's working on getting the type) Is there any truth to that? I'm telling this dude to desregard it even if it's true and just sell himself at the open house! Can anyone add to this rumor? Or confirm it?
Thanks and good luck with those calls for job offers!

 

[328dude]

Both cases are false.

 

[skyflier]

Flypixs,

The wait for either the call or the letter. Most of my friends that have been through the process said that the wait until the DB was no big deal. Once the board had met, that is when the pressure went up. They were right.

Take Care,

Skyflier

Letters in the mail.

One of the guys from my interview class got the letter yesterday.

SWA Requirements

Those 2 requirements - college and/or type rating, are false. In fact, we prefer no college because then you will never (can never) leave. The bad grammar and spelling are just bonuses.

 

[Tone]

Desert Duck, what interview class were you in?

 

[DesertDuck]

14 Mar

 

[yoyoma]

I was in the march 15th group, as far as I know now nobody has heard anything good or bad.

How many were interviewed on the 14th?

15 of us on the 15th

 

[DesertDuck]

There were 17 of us on 14 Mar.

 

[flypixs]

For all of us who are waiting to hear from SW. I went on the 22'nd and no one from my group heard anything yet.

Have a beer and chill y'all.

 

[Oreo]

I interviewed in the middle of March. I got my no thanks letter today.

good luck everyone!

 

[wildcard]

Sorry to here that Oreo. I interviewed on March 5. So far nothing from our class. Maybe Monday calls will start going out. Good Luck to everyone!

 

[flypixs]

Oreo, sorry to heard that. When did you interview and how many folks did you have in your group?
Wildcard, how many folks did you have in your group? We had 14 on the 22'nd.

 

[Oreo]

It was on the 13th. There were 17 of us.

 

[flypixs]

Oreo, again sorry it did not work this time.
We are still waiting. Then again, we were only able to stay in touch with about 6 out of 14 from our group.

 

[Captzaahlie]

Those 2 requirements - college and/or type rating, are false. In fact, we prefer no college because then you will never (can never) leave. The bad grammar and spelling are just bonuses.

Why on God's earth would I ever want to leave?

 

[Captzaahlie]

I interviewed in the middle of March. I got my no thanks letter today.

good luck everyone!

Oreo,
I know how you feel dude because I've recieved on of those letters from SWA before. It's not going to keep me from trying again.
Hang in there you will get it next time,

[TonkaF16]

Gents,

17 of us in the 12 March group, no letters or calls yet.

I'll post as soon as I hear something, appreciate the same.

Best of luck,

TonkaF16

 

[wildcard]

There were 18 of us on the march 5 interview.

 

[huronip]

Oreo,

I hope you don't mind me asking, but were your references called? Thanks.

 

[Oreo]

I don't mind. No none were called. I guess I'm the only one so far to get shot down. I wonder if they will make me a plaque or something.

 

[skyflier]

TonkaF16,

I was part of the Mar 4th interviews, group of 18. We have a google group to keep in touch. I believe 16 of the 18 have checked in on the group and 4 or 5 of the 16 that have checked in have had references called. So far none have reported any phone calls or letters.

Good Luck to all.

Do the letters come USPS or something else?
