WTF is with the SW Pilot Application

[matchthehatch]

Am I a total idiot or is there something seriously flawed with the application web site? After figuring out all of the hours that they want in the format they want, and then entering them, not to mention the employer history, etc... I decided to log out after saving everything so that I could help out around the house. I come back an hour later to log in and everything but my personal info is blank. I'm about to chuck my computer out the window. Am I doing something wrong?

It's been over two years now, but from what I remember you have to fill out the entire app in one sitting (unlike CAL's app).

I'm pretty sure the directions state this at the beginning.

This is true.

Like that's really necessary. Grow up. He/She just asked a simple question.

Perhaps the tone was missing....not meant as an insult in any way. Good luck with your efforts to get on at SWA.

Yeah, come on. Biatching about the application process on FI is the surest way to get hired at a Major.

And I would have put it RTWFA!

This is true.

No it is not. I had a partial app in, ie no times no work history no address, for over a year. Went back just a month a go, it was still there. Finished it up no probs and whaddyaknow ... it's all done.

 

[huronip]

You don't have to fill in every blank, but you have to go through every page of it to get to the end to save/submit it.

I think this was covered in a post last year. It is frustrating, keep trying.

Not too worried about SW discovering my true identity. And if they do, and decide not to interview me because I publicly stated that their application process made me want to chuck my computer, there's always a recall to AA waiting for me (gives me the heebie jeebies), or one of the monthly job offers I'm getting in the corporate world. Anyway, I redid the application and my laptop never went flying through that window.

I was at FTI's open house yesterday in Vegas and heard the recruiters themselves say they are not totally happy with the application website. They say it would take too much money to fix it the way they want it and they are all about keeping their costs down. So they will put up with it for now......

Last but not least, a big thanks for your time

It was a nice presentation on SWA!
