Had a buddy get the call yesterday.

Got my call too. Just waiting on dates. It seems only 2 of my group of 6 got the call. Waiting to see what classes are avail.

There's no rhyme or reason to who gets called when, Some Interview date and decision board can be 4 days or more apart! They split the list up and assign them to a chief (or Assist.) and depending on what their schedule it could be a few days!

Good Luck to all,
KBB

It aint over until until you get the letter/e-mail. I didn't get my call in '07 until a full week after the decision board. That was a long week!

Good luck everyone.

Whats the rumors for hiring the next few years? Are there alot of retirements coming up like at American? Should you consider getting the 737 Type to increase your odds of a interview or is that a waste for a chance to interview? Thanks.

Possible interviews toward the end of this year, and more for next year. Possibly toward the end of 2013 to start covering for the retirements ahead.

When we start going to Alaska and Hawaii, we will definitely need more pilots, add more international (to what AAI now does) and the future looks good for hiring at SW.

Question for early 08 hires..(when I got my second letter from Lindsay...thank you but your qualifications don't meet our needs)Where do you guys fall and fit in the SWA scheme?

 

[IslandDriver]

In regaurds to the 08 hires...I am July 08. Reserve in BWI could hold a lie in PHX, OAK or LAS. Having a great time! Reserve is a little bit of a pain...but they use us all the time...just not as fleible as the line holder. A little anxious about what the ATI integration will bring me at 4 and a half percent from the bottom!

What have you guys heard about the number of classes/new hires for the rest of 2011? I understand there were two classes that started in June, and before those classes started, the company was expecting to hire 80 more. Has anything changed?

Nothing has changed. That is still the target TODAY.

No more classes after the last guys who interviewed in April/May. Interviews perhaps this fall for a few classes next spring. Lots of balls up in the air with Air Tran. Most hires are to cover more copilot vacations and older guys going long term DNIF. My bud did tell me he thinks he might get called on to be one of the ATL chiefs. I guess there's going to be a little regime change going on soon.
