Swa hiring 140 pilots

[redflyer65]

In the last round of hiring, everyone that got the job had the type. Kind of ironic with the other situation we have going on..

You mean the acquisition?

Let it go, geesh. We are way beyond semantics at this point.

If it makes you feel better, let's call it the "mother of all acquisitions", or the "be all end all of acquisitions".

Oops, I forgot to capitalize the "A".

 

[Daddy]

Yeah...about that....I think the ONE thing we can agree on is that this won't be the last acquisition.

So I guess if you were a ways up the Jetblue seniority list you wouldn't apply to SWA, right?

Resume Upload

Has anyone been able to upload their resume in PDF format or is everyone really converting to .txt format? PDF looks much better.

If i was a gambling man, I would say within/ 2 years you will be at SWA.

Just my view but, coming over now will give you better seniority. Dont shot the messenger.

 

[Fubijaakr]

If i was a gambling man, I would say within/ 2 years you will be stapled at SWA.

Fixed it for you.

You mean, even though the web site specifically tells you they want it in text format?

In this environment, are 140 new pilots actually going to show on property? Or is this just another "friendly reminder" from management to pull the yes lever?

"My MEC speaks for me!"

 

[sfomarc]

Is that the MEC that said no to sl9 then said yes to sl10?

 

[GoodTimes]

Get over it Fubi

Must be a sign of how well Southwest operates/treats people.

-Had an issue uploading an updated resume and emailed IT with a question. Within an hour "they" changed the format and made a few minor changes for me and even uploaded the new resume to the pilot credentials thing for me.

Seems like a company with people who actually want to be there, from the custodial engineers on up!

Good luck hope to see you in DAL this winter.

Half your MEC is on the lam for their lack of judgement dude. They cost you personally at least a cool mil.

Fly4unclesam:

The following info is "my" opinion only.

Please use .txt format. SAVE AS as an RTF. You might wonder why? You are correct in that a PDF looks better. The use of a program that "scans" resumes might be utilized. It does not work on a PDF (as a PDF is read only). Scanning programs identify certain keywords, such as, correlating total time into a numeric field, and certain other "words" that may or may not "ping" the system. For example, some companies ping words like "honor" as in honor society, or "check" as in check airman. AGAIN, just MY opinion.

Best of luck.
