Looks like they are changing up the application process for the new year. Just got an email from SWA saying...

"While you won't see an open posting on Jan. 7 like in months past, rest assured you'll be the first to know when we post the next First Officer opening by being part of this Talent Community! We’ll stay in touch and share about the upcoming opportunities to meet with the Southwest Team"

Wonder if the new system will be more like UAL and AA.
