Hey Everyone in the know at SWA!!! I have a question. I was just wondering what the chances are for a guy like me to get an interview at Southwest!!! I am sure that I am like many guys who have grown up in Texas, always wanting to fly for Southwest. I was just wondering if I would even get consideration by applying. I have about 5300TT, 3500 turbine PIC, mostly part 91, but no degree. I left College 6 hours short of graduating to fly full-time when my wife got pregnant. Believe it or not, "The Pill" can fail!!! So, a few years later, here I am with a beautiful wife and a wonderful little girl who keeps me busy when I'm home!! I am however ready to take the next step in my career. Would SWA even look at someone with only 91/135 turboprop time? How would my not finishing College while so close to graduation be viewed? Should I try and go 121 before considering SWA in order to get some jet PIC? I know the market is tough and there are a thousand guys before me wanting the same thing. I was just wondering where I would stand, or what I should do to become more competitive. Southwest has been my goal since I started flying at 18. I have had the privelidge of getting to know several Southwest pilots somewhat well over the years, and they all truly love their job, and wouldn't change a thing if they could do it all again. This just reinforced my desire to make it there. Sorry for the long post, But I was just wondering how I would look to the People Department. I look forward to the responses!! Ya'll take care!
