Default OBAP Career Fair

Has anyone received a call that went to OBAP career Fair?
I forgot to ask the recruiter, if I was positively selected, when could I expect a call. My bad! Anyone ask that question?
Good luck

Guys,

I attended OBAP and met with Southwest on Wednesday evening. I feel very fortunate that i recvieved a email invite to interview the next day. I think there were two other individuals who had emails before me. Dont expect a call, it was a email from "Admin Support" Southwest Airlines. I didnt have this problem but you also might want to check your spam folder as well! Good luck to all!

Had a fantastic time speaking with the representatives during the conference, further solidified SWA being where I want to make my career (if so lucky).

Currently my app on the ICIMS site shows "resume under review" so I'm hopeful and have been checking every folder every hour, lol. Let's keep the communications following for updates and best of luck to all!

I came away feeling pretty darn positive, but now I am not so sure. I did not have a look at my application before the window closed, so no idea. Time will tell. They lived up to the Southwest way. I was unable to interview until the very end and they stayed late. He sounded positive, but maybe they were like that to everyone.
All the best!

What's your availability date? Rumor is SWA is only looking for people available now through Oct? (Which is pretty limiting IMO)

For those that went to OBAP, did your application status change to "under review"? Mine did and so did the two other pilots I know that met with SWA. I'm curious if this is just the norm after a meet and greet, or if it's something to be mildly optimistic about.

Gents-
Yes, I have a Sept availability and here are my uncorrected times:
3500 Total
2000 TPIC
3000 Jet
125 Evaluator
500 G/A
Safety offficer, commander and a prior enlisted maintainer. Masters in Aeronautics from ERAU. I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity. I have three equally qualified friends of which 1 of 3 were given a CJO by Southwest. They are still very selective on who they welcome to the family as well they ought to be. Good luck to all!
