Thanks Tanker!

I really think it is an exciting time to get on at SWA with all the growth coming to the SWA side.

I'm betting on the Airtran guys getting militant and greedy and eventually being shutdown with the flying going to the SWA side. Just a bet and hunch. We'll see.
 
It's different this time around. No one is being 'pulled out'. They are changing everything to comply with the DOL, so it is ALL computer driven.

Once you get an interview, you can get some internal help, but not until then.

Not trying to rain on the parade, but just trying to give some updated info. Good luck to all!

Sorry, not true. DOL rules don't apply until hired. You can't tell a company they can't hire person X if they want to. I'm pretty sure they don't have a computer program pick out CEOs. Or a baseball team doesn't have to hire a player based on his AA record. They can "pull" whomever they want. Shoot, the DOL would have a huge problem then with how they pick commanders in the Air Force. My friend said he was going to call "Rocky" tonight.

I guess we'll see.

Has anyone received this "confirmation" email?
 
I'm calling BS on Tankerclown.

Buddy of mine is a 25 year Captain and he was told even his son would not get special consideration.

Best of luck to all of you who apply.

Thanks Tanker. Some people are immature on this forum.

What kind of PIC time do you have and what does your friend say is competitive?? Are you logging PIC as the sole manipulator?? I was able to get the PIC mins with this.

I've got a buddy who I worked with at GoJet who is going to walk my resume into the BWI Chief pilots office. He says he is pretty tight with the BWI Chief so I'll stick with him but thanks anyways. Good luck to you!!

SWA defines PIC as signing off for the aircraft or being the aircraft commander. Might wanna rethink your app if you are still an fo at your current job. You'll have a hard time explaining how it was PIC.

Guess you're buddy wasn't a head honcho with your union and in tight with your mgt. He's tight with the hiring guy. Sorry man. Maybe you should stick to spinning up Frontier guys and popping off to every AirTran guy who posts.
 
Who is "the hiring guy" Tank? My buddy had Herb and Colleen at his wedding. I'd say that's a pretty good in.
