SWA Pool III

[Richard Gozinya]

I can neither confirm, nor deny if I interviewed today. If I did, I would say that classes are planned through Aug and beyond. The pool is draining QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cherry20's]

I agree, Ms. Lang said it looked very promissing for the rest of the year. You must have been in the morning Richard...

Pool gone by end of August!

 

[Captzaahlie]

Good luck guys!

I have friend waiting to interview. Some intel on the Panel interview and new and interesting questions would be much appreciated.

Good luck to you. The 5 week wait is the longest year of your life!

 

[cherry20's]

Its only been a day and it feels like a year!!!

There really weren't any new questions that I got. Standard tell me about a time when...
Lots of just chatting and getting to know you stuff too. I felt they were looking at personalities more than specific questions, but who knows.

 

[Richard Gozinya]

Agreed. More like the first interview, 2006, than unlike. More chatting, more getting to know you. Starts as "tell me about you, how you starting flying, what got you here, why southwest, why should we hire you."

It seems to me that they wanted me to start talking, revealing my personality, and then incorporate the TMAT into all that. Absolutely NO suprises on what was previously talked about on these open forums.

I will say that I have a skeleton. It is on the app and was discussed on the first interview. It was brought up and COMPLETELY discussed. No BS and no hiding. I openly discussed ALL of it and was honest. Of course, this is also a source of "how it was accepted from the interviewers" when it comes to second guessing portion. Face it, we ALL second guess portions of the interview as being a negative. Naturally, we ASSUME they see it the way we do. Honesty, and full disclosure, is the way to go.

The info is out there on what they will ask so do your homework. Do your research just like I did. Interview prep worked great.

DON"T be late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dick

 

[cherry20's]

My buddy CJ was in your interview group, the young one.

What skeleton are you talking about?

 

[Mickey D]

Would somebody throw me a towel? I'm getting ready to dry off... Call from PD yesterday confirming an August 6th class!

Cleaned up the list. I was in the 6/4 class. My post in the mega thread got buried and I somehow got put back on the "deferred" list.

Anything offical from the PD regarding additional classes in August?

Thanks...

 

[TOGA]

I'll stop in on Monday & ask . . . I need to thank 'em for the b'day card that came three days before I was even an employee!

Cp told me Firday we were going to hire 650 for the year. My question is why? I thought we were only netting 15 airplanes. These are numbers for 50+

 

[RedDogC130]

but we are not retiring 11-13 jets I though,t so there is the additional 100+ plus we are FO short..just look at the JA rates these days

 

[Old School]

2 or 3 July classes?

 

[jhill]

ok so now we net 28 a/c. that means 280ish fot the jets add 100 for the RNP training and you are still 230 short. The 100 for RNP will have to be absored later. We will not just keep 100 extra pilots around.

 

[Tejas-Jet]

2 or 3 July classes?

looks like 3 classes for July

You must consider what's going on behind closed doors that no one knows about. I'm sure there is preparation for something in the near future and I'm sure that kind of stuff is very "close hold". Good luck to everyone!

 

[Mach 80]

Ya all hear about SWA recently firing a couple of new hire pilots while still in class for constantly mouthing off about SWA procedures and how procedures were so much better at the airlines they came from?

It was ONE new hire pilot that was given THREE chances to shut his mouth.

Now he is free to start his own airline and implement the procedures he likes best.

 

[Tanker Clown]

I hear he came from Express. Man, you don't see military guys getting bounced like that.

Nice shot.
Lets see where this goes.

 

[Whataburger]

From SWAPA.
Net gain of 17 planes.
500+ new pilots.

 

[RedDogC130]

I bet you would be the first..you can say your were #1 at something....wait I think you have that title..figure it out.

 

[Mach 80]

>>>It was ONE new hire pilot that was given THREE chances to shut his mouth. <<

Any of his classmates (former I guess) on here who can tell us what sort of idiot he was and what sort of things he was doing?
