My advice, take your time and be very prepared when you get the call so that you'll shine in the interview. SWA would have been a great job, but it just wasn't in the cards. Don't be a dope like me and squander the opportunity.
I would disagree with this. If you get the call, and they ask if you can interview on whatever date they give, go for it. Haven't we learned seniority is everything? I was faced with that same decision when I got the call from Alaska, but was preparing little by little just in case I got the call. When they did, I had 3 weeks to get ready. I put everything on hold and went to interview prep, networked, and my interview did not go perfect, but still got hired. I think all these interviewers hire ATTITUDE more than aptitude. Think about how many applicants they see, how much of the same answers they hear everyday. I messed up alot in my interview, but it's all in the recovery with you smiling.
Anyway, start preparing for your interview now and be as ready as you can when you get the call.

For me:

Last August I had 2400 TT, 1200 PIC, 650 IP/EP, and a HPA 73 type and I got the call but then they cancelled all interviews. I just got the call back for a Sept interview with the above plus about 450 hours with CAL on on the 737.

I would agree that seniority means alot (I am getting furloughed by CAL shortly) so if you have your stuff together take the first interview you can get.

FWIW, I got the call after updating the profile (right) side of the app with my new address, don't know if that makes a difference.

Who knows?
