I believe he is saying six attempts for an interview and not actual interviews.

Tell me again why you aren't at SWA? All you do is whine about what SWA has to what DAL doesn't. If everything at SWA is so much better, why don't you go to SWA?

I'm guessing you weren't a finance major in school?
Although I'm far from a Delta cheerleader, I turned down a job offer at SWA in favor of Delta. I haven't regretted it for a second, despite the current pay disparity (which needs serious rehabbing in this upcoming contract).

No one stays on top forever. But don't try to tell any of the Southwest cultists that.

Ahh, ye olde "if you don't like it here, why don't you quit" routine. Maybe he just wants to improve the contract at Ma DelDah? Anyhow, to keep things fair and balanced, we have People using the same routine. To the peeps that Got turned down, you wont know until you turn 65-75 years old if this was good or bad. SWA is a good Company to work for, so better luck next time!

Anyone know if they look favorably upon persistence? I/e reapplying after a rejection?

If you're on the -88, international means west of the Mississippi River.

Hrk,
Sorry to hear about your news. One positive thing is your letter says you can apply at the next window. I interviewed in Nov 2011 and recevied my thanks but no thanks letter after the Dec decision board. My letter says I am welcome to reapply ONE YEAR from my interview date. Not sure why I have to wait a year, but at least the way yours is worded you don't have to wait a year, so there is one little postitive thing for you to look at.
