Seems this rumor is ramping hard, that SWA will open the application window for approx 200 positions soon, like withing a couple of weeks.

Not even intending to start a discussion on why or why not this is a valid rumor, or smart for the company, or a good career choice. Just saying that if you were intending to apply, now might be a good time to make sure you have all your stuff together.

EDIT: After further review of my rumor sources, 12 Sep was the date that was most heavily rumored about.
