I've heard they are still interviewing pilots to fill the last classes... Any truth to this?

That is my understanding. I'm in 1 Feb class and SWA bud of mine said he had another friend interviewing soon (probably either this last week or next).

When I called the training department to tell them I was coming off leave they said I could have my pick of jan/feb/mar class so they're obviously not all full ... That was just 3 days ago

Welcome aboard guys. Enjoy your time during initial training. Alot of memories are made during that time.

Most airline contracts would require the company to shuffle the newhires back since the slots are technically not filled until they show up on day 1 ...so if you said Jan, they would let you even if it was full and push a newhire back to Feb, and then one back to March, etc.

Is this not how it would work at SWA. Not important, always curious how other airlines handle different situations contractually.

 

[redflyer65]

Just to follow up a little...

We are actively interviewing now to fill those short term slots through March.

We have done away with any 'pool', so the lead time from interview to class is realitively short now. That's why it went down that way for you Cubs. They are interviewing to put people in class almost immediately.

I interviewed on the 15th of Dec. I heard my board meets on the 23rd of Jan. Would reference calls have gone out by now if I was on the good list?

Not necessarily true, I know guys that went to decision board without having any references called.

And got hired!

Why would you want to fly for Southwest anyway? You are going to have to worry about your car being keyed by a Delta pilot every time you get home.


What would a Southwest pilot do for revenge, key a Delta pilots 1972 station wagon .
