Default Southwest Rejection, again...

Got it today at noon...chin up, pressing on!!


Thank you for your interest in the First Officer position at Southwest Airlines during the October 2011 application window. Southwest is fortunate to receive interest from many qualified Candidates for the limited number of open Pilot positions at a given time. At this time, the October 2011 application window is closed and all interviews have been conducted for our First Quarter 2012 class dates.

After careful consideration, you were not selected at this time to move forward in our hiring process. You are welcome to apply when Southwest has First Officer openings in the future, through www.southwest.com/careers during a future Pilot hiring event.

We wish you success in your career endeavors and thank you again for your interest in Southwest Airlines.

I wouldn't worry too much about it... they have among the worst retirement projections out there of all the major carriers.

You could go to Delta, and have a 10 year upgrade (without ANY growth), and get to fly everything from the 320 to the 747 in the meantime.

I was turned down by SWA about a decade ago, and don't count it as a bad thing, even though I'd be a (junior) captain there if I'd made it.

You could go to Delta and have an 18-20 year upgrade, make 33 percent less than a pilot at Southwest, work more days than a Southwest pilot, and still think you are better off because the Southwest pilots have to fly the 737 the rest of their careers while you can fly many different airplanes.
