Thanks, J. I know you're going to get the interview soon. Hopefully I can be in class to give you an online rec.

Congrats to you all!

FWIW I have a buddy getting his type at Higher Power right now and the SWA PD came over this week and said that there are currently 220 people in the "hired" pool. They didn't say how many of the 220 had the type and wheteher or not that number included the people hired on the June DB. They also said they expect to hire somewhere around 600 this year and the same for next year. I hope that's true with the rumors of them slowing growth down.

I heard that over 100 were hired in this DB. I hope that 220 in the pool includes that 100 or it could be a long wait for class.

I got the call in April. None of my external references were called, only internal, and of those only the ones that I had actually flown with. I got the type 5/18, and now I'm just waiting for a class date.

Good luck.
