SWA DB-Aug 28th

[jparks]

NICE!!!! Glad to hear the calls are coming out!

Considering they interviewed a normal months worth before 15 August which until now seems to be the cut date for meeting last mondays DB - This thread is awfully quiet.
Question to those who made it so far - What percentage of your group got the call? Could it be that they only considered 100% Shoe ins on this board? Were all the CPs present?

24 interviewed on 8/08...so far only 3 hired...calls may still be going out...that seems like really small %'s...

23 interviewed on 8/07...8 of them had contacts called...8 hired so far. Calls are going a little slow since dallas is doing all of them. Hang in there.

So were the 8 hired the ones that had refs called?

How many had refs called in that group?

 

[bclacy]

Going over my email trails it looks like 8 were called from my group as well. So far only 3 hired.

Hopefully they are still calling...have not heard of any letters received yet.

8/10 23 interviewed. 4-5 had refs called. 1 of 23 hired so far. My refs were called 4-5 days after I interviewed. Got the good call on Tuesday 8/29. Day after the DB met. Have heard it can take up to 10 days for the calls to go out. And remember, no letter means you're still in the game! Good Luck!

Congrats to those who got the call, and good luck to all!!!

So the next DB is either the 8th or the 14th...man I hope it's the 8th...the 14 seems like an eternity. I have not seen a corrolation between references called and being hired.

I interviewed on the last day, 24 Aug. I'm glad they had the early DB for those who interviewed earlier!

We were told that they will have interviewed about 280 people in August (24 a day, Mon-Thur, for 3 weeks). They are planning the same for Sept, but only 2 weeks worth of interviews.

The average seems to be 25% hired. I guess they have so many applicants that they can afford to be picky.

Congrats to those called thus far. For those of us who interviewed later in the month, good luck!!

328Dude, I never liked you. I like you even less now.

 

[Quiet Flight]

One more from 8/10 got the good news yesterday. That makes it 3 for 23 from that interview date.

Guess all in quiet on the Southwest Front.

Oh well, must mean there's something better out there, around the corner.

I just don't know what!

Peace.

How you been Turtle???

Did the rest get the letter or were some considered in the 12 Sept. DB?

 

[scoreboard]

Just a note on calls to your references. None, zero, zilch, nada....none of my refs were called. Freaked me out a little...

Unlikely. As in, not possible. They probably talked to someone, just not the ones you put down. They have their ways, which means sir, more than a few have a good thing to say about you, which is a very good thing, welcome aboard.

Thanks man. I spoke with someone in the people dept. and asked him about that specifically. Because the guy that offered me the Continental job said SWA called him about me. (former cheif at my current employer). I didn't use him as a reference. People dept. guy said he was probably just pulling my chain. He could have seen the 737 type on my glorious temp. I had to use for the interview and just put two and two together. So I don't know. Don't care either. I'm in and that's all that matters! :beer: Best of luck to all still waiting to hear!
