SWA reference calls

[Bugaloo]

Anyone know of any calls to references going out for the 1 week worth of Nov interviews yet? The DB isn't until Jan supposedly and with Thanksgiving holiday going on last week I'm not sure how soon they'll be getting to them. I would think this week is when they could start on them.

Haven't heard of any reference calls from my group going out yet. Anyone else hear of any?

 

[Vince Neil]

None here either.

Vince:
I know who you are, B-atch!

(I saw you fourth row as the warm-up for Ozzy in 1984).

 

[Keydet]

Bluto,

I know who YOU are. I saw you getting your a$$ kicked by Popeye on tv circa 1980-1985 many times.

 

[thebluto]

Yeah, I'm not sure why I put myself through all that. "Olive Oyl" isn't really that attractive. I like chicks with more "Junk in the Trunk" anyway.




By the way, try not to sweat the calls to references. If it happens, it happens. It took me almost 8 weeks to hear anything. Of course I didn't make it (THIS TIME).

Most of the guys in my interview group had their references called at about the 2-3 week point, but it wasn't during the holidays.

Any one hear anything yet?

 

[Pig]

Maybe this will be the week for reference calls for the Nov interviews. Still don't know of anyone who has had them called. For all the Nov interviewees, let everyone know if references start getting called this week.

I just got a call from the back ground check personnel about a guy I wrote an internal recomendation for. He interviewed in November. I guess they are just starting to go out because of the holidays.

SWA Reference Call

I interviewed on 16 Nov and one of my references was called today.

 

[Bugaloo]

Got mine called too.

 

[Vince Neil]

my refs were called as well on 6&7 Dec.

Vince,

Just looking at your numbers and noticed that they are close to mine... no call for me yet though. Was wondering what your PIC total was and how many SWA guys you listed on your original online app?

Just trying to keep the faith...

For what it's worth, I got the impression talking to PD personnel that the times they were looking at for this round of interviews for military was around 3K total, 2K turbine PIC, 1K last 36m, IP helpful, evaluator (natops I guess for Navy) or check airmen even more helpful. All assuming you have a type rating. I think these times are slowing going down as interviews progress. You may be able to simply call the PD and ask them directly. I don't think they mind.

Don't remember listing any SWA personell on the application. SWA personnel can only do those internal computer comments on you after you are invited to interview, if that's what you are talking about.

Interviewed on 17 Nov. still no word for me.

Reference Call

Hey All,

I received a call yesterday from SWA concerning a friend who interviewed mid-November. He said the Decision Board will be sometime in January. Best wishes to all. Happy Holidays.

Oh-ryan,

No SWA dudes listed on app. I did bring 4 internal letters of rec (all from FO's) for a total of 8 LOR's to the interview. I did not work any LOR's until I was called for my interview. My PIC was 1625. I think they looked at quite a bit at quals as well on that round. Hope this helps.

Vince don't end up playing in bars.... it's dangerous

Vince... be careful if you start playing in bars within a few years...with what has happened to White Lion last year and part of Pantera yesterday...be careful and stuff.

ps Glad to hear you had a few ref's called!
