[JumpJetter]

You probably have already heard this, but we are pretty short of FOs on the line. Hopefully the pool drains quickly for ya'all

[huronip]

I do believe you will need the passport for simulator training, I think its part of the FAA/TSA requirements.

SWA want's a copy of it the first day of class or at least they did for my class.

 

[waveflyer]

what's the training pay over there anyway? do you get per diem? etc etc

Congrats to all getting a class-

 

[Beech Balls]

Hey guys what hotel are we using for training? Is it still the Holiday Inn?

I was told the ELEGANTE,.....nobody seems to know where that is.

 

[GhettoBeechjet]

The Elegante is what used to be the Raddison on Northwest Highway.

[CyscoSydney18]

Just spoke with Diane in the PD and she told me I should be in the next class after the June 25 class. My pool date is July 27. She also told me they are gearing up to start interviewing again in the next couple of months. No sooner than I got off the phone with Diane I got a "poolie" update email saying they now plan on hiring at least 350 total this year.

I know some people had asked about when they send you for a drug test in earlier posts and Diane told me to go today.

Hope the info helps. See everyone soon.

 

[bmxandjets]

If 350 for the year, how many of those are from the pool? Is that mostly all from the pool, or was the pool less than 350 by January?

How soon out does PD start notifying people for interviews?

 

[hyeflyin]

I beleive that there was 376 in the pool at the begining of this year. After the June classes there should be 179 poolies left, at most. However, that number would be slightly reduced for those who had turned down a class with SWA.

 

[WNC Flyer]

Dear Southwest Airlines Pilot Poolies,
We are pleased to inform you that we now anticipate hiring at least 350 Pilots this year! We have recently been told that we will be adding two more classes in June (total of THREE June classes) and we will be in touch with those of you who will be the additional June classes shortly. While we do not have a definite schedule of classes beyond June, we will be notifying you as soon as possible of your specific start date. We typically get notification of new classes about a month prior to when you will come on property and we will be in touch with you as we have details.
We are excited to have each of you begin your career at Southwest Airlines! As always, if you have specific questions, please feel free to give us a call and we are happy to talk with you about your specific circumstance.
We'll see you soon and thank for your patience!
LUV,
The Flight Ops Recruiting Team

 

[huronip]

I like the part about hiring at least 350 this year!

 

[BlueandWhite]

I was told the ELEGANTE,.....nobody seems to know where that is.

I would be surprised if it was the Elegante. All classes this year including mine were at Holiday Inn Express.

If it is at the Elegante, you're in luck. Waffle House across the street and a strip club next door!imp:

 

[MJG]

FWIW, I'm booked at the Holiday Inn, for the 5/28 class.

 

[Senio101]

My pool date was 6/20/07, and I am in the 5/28/08 class. Sorry for the late post. I have been busy and have not been on the computer much.

 

[OMNIDC10FO]

For any of you anticipating a June 18 class date at SWA, any chance you could PM me when you get the call? Communication options in Africa are less than optimal! Thanks and see ya in Dallas!

 

[TriStar_drvr]

If it is at the Elegante, you're in luck. Waffle House across the street and a strip club next door!imp:

Just think of the money you'll save. The rest of us had to take a cab to the strip club.

Added "Senio101" for the 5/28 class.

 

[bmxandjets]

any new interview rumors?

 

[MILPILOT17]

I'm hearing end of summer/beginning of fall. All adds up with the addition of classes and the number left in the pool. Wouldn't be surprised if it happens a little sooner based on the number of poolies I'm hearing have defered class dates.

 

[cherry20's]

I heard today that inteviews may begin as soon as a month from now. Pool to be drained by November or so with the new interviewers taking class dates this year! Looks like good things coming for eveyone still waiting.

[califlyer]

What's the schedule for class once you arrive? I read the old New Hire Info thread, but didn't find all the answers I am looking for.
How long is ground school? How long in the sim? About how long from start of class to IOE?
I'm probably looking at the June 25 class, so it's rapidly approaching!

 

[bmxandjets]

I heard today that inteviews may begin as soon as a month from now. Pool to be drained by November or so with the new interviewers taking class dates this year! Looks like good things coming for eveyone still waiting.

now that's a nice sounding rumor... hope it's even 10% accurate..

What's the schedule for class once you arrive? I read the old New Hire Info thread, but didn't find all the answers I am looking for.
How long is ground school? How long in the sim? About how long from start of class to IOE?
I'm probably looking at the June 25 class, so it's rapidly approaching!

Welcome aboard. Here's a summary of the May 14th class

May 14 - 11 June Ground school (Indoc, systems, procedures, mass boredom, etc)

June 12 - June 21 9 Sim sessions (including checkride and LOFT)

4-5 days of IOE (normally at the base of your choice)starting most likely around June 26 or 27.

All in all, plan on 6-7 weeks start to finish.
Congrats,
spciii
