When will the SWA DB meet again?

[bravodude]

Anyone know how long after the meeting the calls/letters begin?

My board met on a wed. and i got called at 4:55 on friday.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

Interviewed on Feb. 6th was told the DB will meet mid March, so patiently waiting for around the end of March.

If your not called by 1:45 pm on the 20th. then I'd start drinking.

I already started. Just in case!

 

[Tater]

Bravo is right. Calls will start going out on Friday. I will be anxiously waiting along with the rest of you. GOOD LUCK!

 

[RyansDad]

So if calls will start going out on Friday I guess they go out well into the next week? Do the letters go out right after they meet on Tue. If soo it sounds like you would get the letter before others got the call....

It can sometimes take up to two weeks to hear anything after the board meets.

they divide the last names in alpha order between the CPs, some CPs call the next day some next week if they are busy. good luck ya'll, start drinking now :beer:

The board actually meets for two days...20 & 21 Feb (Tues and Weds). Travel on Thurs, calls start going out on Fri. If a watched pot never boils, does a watched phone ever ring???

I called Gina from HR last week and she assured me that the board was meeting on Feb 20th. She mentioned that they had to push it back a week from the usual 2nd Tuesday of the month.

Good Luck to all!

My boyfriend is waiting for the call this week. I think I am more nervous than him. He had no references calls. Man is that nerve wrecking.

 

[Tater]

CVG-There is no 100% formula. Some folks have been hired with no reference calls (anecdotal evidence from this board and others), and many have had references called and not get hired. Have faith!!

 

[CVG72]

I do... but he didn't feel that great about the interview so it's hard to be optimistic. He said he felt like he really didn't get one of the interviewer to connect with him. But you never know i guess. He is such the perfect guy for the company, it's wheter they got to see that or not. let's cross our fingers!!!!!!

 

[afhercdriver]

Good luck tomorrow!

 

[Tater]

Today's the day!! Good luck everyone!

 

[bravodude]

well it is all over. I know how everybody must feel now. The two days between my board and the call i was a nervous reck. My girlfriend actually would look forward to going to work just to get away from me. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

 

[afhercdriver]

Let the phone calls begin!

 

[Tater]

Recent history has shown that phones won't start ringing until Friday. They're still meeting today...travel tomorrow...start calling on Friday. Just don't want folks to start chewing off their fingernails because their phone doesn't ring today...or tomorrow. Again, GOOD LUCK!

Quick Question. I have almost 5000 TT with 3000 Turbine with just under 1300 HRS Turbine PIC 121( Beech 1900D) and also a check airman. Is it possible for me to get hired with Southwest Airlines with tis time. I have seen a lot of people not get hired from the beech. I also have 1 letter of rec. Thanks for any replys.

 

[Tater]

IRELAND-First of all, don't ask us...ask Southwest...by APPLYING. But don't do so until you get your 1300 PIC. Your letter of rec, internal or otherwise, won't help until after you have been invited to interview. At that point, SWA actually requires 3 letters of rec from people who have actually flown with you. Also (again, AFTER you get the interview) get your "inside" contact(s) to sumbit an on-line rec for you. There are many that say those carry more weight than the hard copies SWA asks you to bring to the interview. Just remember this: The odds of getting hired are hovering at slightly less than 50% if you apply...The odds are SIGNIFICANTLY less if you don't apply. GOOD LUCK!

I know there was a guy in my new hire class that was a Checkairman on the 1900 for Gulfstream, although he did have some other sic time in an RJ.
