just curious what your qualifications are?
Don't feel bad if you see guys getting hired with far less experience.
My DH didn't get hired with over 10,000 hours TT. He is typed in the 737 (flew it for 2 years as an FO and 2 years as a Captain) and typed in the Airbus (currently in his 5th year flying it as a Captain). He has been with his current airline for 10 years.
He has international and extended over water experience all in jet aircraft.
What he did NOT have was any internal letters of rec.
He has a great attitude and isn't "cocky" at all. He is an extremely nice guy (when I non-rev I ALWAYS have other pilots, flight attendants, and gate agents tell me I'm married to such a nice guy).
My DH has interviewed with 5 different airlines over the past 11 years, and this is the first airline that did not offer him a job.
He is professional, clean-cut, intelligent and above all else a safe and excellent pilot.
I LOVE the airline he is with now, so personally, I'm glad we are staying put for the time being!
I believe everything happens for a reason!!
In writing this post I mean no disrespect toward SWA, their pilots or the folks that make the decisions on who to hire or not hire. Bottom line is that it is THEIR choice.
Congratulations to all of you who did get hired!
