Damn Albie, 2 out of 10! I'm glad you didn't share this fact with me when I did my prep...I would have been a lot less confident when I interviewed with SWA. However, everything turned out fine for me, one airline application, one interview and now I'm in the pool. I do feel really blessed to have been so fortunate. The reason SWA was my first choice.....I only know a few guys at UPS or FEDEX (none at CAL) compared to six at SWA. They all said that they still enjoy coming to work and thought that it would be a good fit for me. I know that internal recommendations are huge at any airline, and I appreciated what my friends could do for me. SWA was my first choice, but if I thought about it too long I might have changed my mind. There are also some very good reasons for going cargo (or CAL). I just played the cards I had.
