Southwest currently has two first officer job postings open, one with a requisition number ending in “xxx18”, the other “xxx19”. I assume one of them is only for attendees of the most recent job fair, but have no proof of this. Does anyone know to which posting those of us who did NOT attend should apply?

I received an email from Southwest on Friday, 2-15-19, that said, “Unfortunately you did not receive an invitation to interview from the Aug 2018 hiring window (…) You are welcome to apply during the next hiring window which will be from Feb 17th - Mar 20th...” The word “next” makes me think perhaps I should apply to requisition “xxx18” and leave “xxx19” to the job fair folks, but it’s still a bit unclear.
