Would you recommend a interview prep for this event? I am at 5900 hours tt and about 2650 turbine PIC all corporate. I do not have a degree. I am trying to not let my hopes get too high, but I am really excited about this opportunity. I would love to work for Southwest .
No prep for this, its really just an open house where you take a tour and talk to a "pilot recruiter" about your application. I dont think it holds much weight at all honestly.
I've heard of many whom attended the event and didnt get a call. I've heard of even fewer who got a call shortly after the event. It's hard to say weather the call was because of the event or your number just happen to come up and get a call.
Im similar in time as you with a bit more TPIC, with a 4 year degree, and 121 experience and didnt get a call.
The only advice is have your pilot credentials up to date as you'll review it...and bring a few resumes.
Thats it.
