I've met two recent new hires that are now on the B777 that came from SWA.

I don't think anyone can really answer your questions.

We've had several, it seems, from SWA in recent months. The others seem to be one-see two-see based on company and alpa updates. I would think they would look at anyone from any of the other majors favorably, although with the current computer points system, who really knows.

Age varied from low 30's to mid 50's, don't know about everyone's internal recs when I was hired they weren't heavily weighted.

7 Feb CJO. When were you told 5 Mar or 20 Mar? Did you have time for a 2 week notice?

If I remember correctly I had at a least a two week notice prior to Mar 5th. Once I requested Mar 19th they switched me almost immediately without any questions.
