SWA Dec decision board?

[debo007]

Actually I never had a girl blow me off, I just pretend to not care much about them then they flock to ya!!!!!

Advice for single guys, don't try hard!!!!

As for SWA, great place, but I honestly think that someone hired right now will not have the prosperous future that has hit the guys hired in the 90s, or up until 2002/3.

You are right about me not doing a lot of prep for the interview. I wanted to go and be myself. The money is not that great!!! Honestly, $200K a year is not going to make you a fortune. You have to invest it wisely!!! I am not impressed until you can do at least a million per year. And no, my parents are not rich and never have been.

2500 hired over the next 5 years....Yea go somewhere else where you can "prosperous future".......Dork.

Actually I don't really care too much if they turn me down or not. Things happen how they are suppose to. Besides, it is not up to me or them if I get hired, it is up to the almighty one above us!

It is win/win SWA vs CAL, all I am saying is that a company will not make anyone happy or rich for that matter (these days). Also, SWA interview style reminds me of UAL's back in the 90s, cocky attitude. Don't get me wrong, the interview went great!!! I was not that impressed, and that is important to me.


As for 2500 pilots over the next few years, hmmmm that is what DAL said up until June 2001.

Cocky attitude? You must have been at a different interview than I was. Everyone I met acted as if they were as excited I was there as I was to be there. I can not say enough how great a process it was for me. I had a good time, met some great people, and want now more than ever to be a part of their team. So it is a long wait to find out if you are one they are looking for, you knew that at the start of the process. I am sorry you are so disgusted with the process and wish you the best of luck with CAL. However, if past performance is any indication of future results, SWA has a fine future ahead. Good luck to all involved and have a Merry Christmas!

Lets just hope the weeding out process works in this case!!!!

Come on... can't you see this guy is just egging us on...

I can't believe this is what I'm doing on Christmas Eve... sitting in a hotel and getting involved in an message board pissing contest... I thought I was more senior than this...

Happy non-denominational holidays everyone!

I am also wondering about how the move of the DB will effect the interviewees. I have six clients who are patiently waiting for their dream job. With the 300 going through the DB, the odds for hiring might be pretty low.

Does anyone know if they are going to split up the months, and then hire the number they planned to hire originally for each month?

I wish everyone good luck and hopefully the news will be great!

Since when is 200K a year not a lot of money?

That's what I'm worried about too.

SFR,

Good luck in your career. If you are not sure of SWA, please do feel free to turn them down on the chance you get an offer.

Others of us would jump at the chance to take that slot. I am waiting, somewhat impatiently, for a second interview.

Wouldn't that just figure that someone who doesn't care and doesn't want the job gets an offer. Meanwhile, others are dedicated to making SWA a career have to wait patiently.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Southwest is not impressing me as the days continue. I interviewed there is Nov and am still waiting. I interviewed at CAL and found out the same day that I got the job.

What is there to think about SWA??? Either you like me or you don't, period.

So they take a plane off the end and that affects the decision board about pilot hiring, obviously the head bone is connected to the hip bone for these people.

I never thought I would say this, but lost ALL of my interest in SWA. Good luck to them, but I won't be a part, regardless of what they say.

What is the big hype, they are going to start losing money next year anyway. 5 years ago a job at SWA was not that big of a deal.

Soooooooooo....since I'm sure you still have the phone nummber to the gals in the Peole Dept., have you already called them and asked them to take your name out of consideration? This is just so the Decision Board doesn't have to waste any time with your file in making a decision that day.

They are some fine guys on that Board and I would hate to see them make a long day already longer discussing a file on a guy who pretty much isn't unterested anymore.

All the best at CAL

You should have no worries, Mr Avoiding. You are going to get picked up by SWA.....if not, there is something wrong with the system.
