Arrow Southwest Application 'til March 23, 2011@5pm

This is the cover page of the SW app:

LICENSING/CERTIFICATION:

U.S. FAA Airline Transport Pilot with B-737 Type rating.

Must possess a valid United States Drivers License


The pilot tab on the website still says:

A Candidate may apply without a B-737 Type Rating. If a candidate interviews and successfully completes the entire selection process, he/she has six months from the date to obtain a B-737 Type Rating to be eligible for hire.

Anyone know if that has changed for this hiring cycle? Thanks!

You'll need the type for employment. You do NOT need it for the interview. Same as it was before ... at least that's from everything I've read and heard

I used the SWA plug-n-play Resume feature and thought it was strange that there was no place to insert your Total hours/Turbine PIC etc... There was a check to verify you meet the minimum experience required, but should I upload my hours some other way?

Thoughts?

I also had the same question. It seemed to easy.

Once I uploaded the resume I went back to review it from SWA and when it downloaded it to my computer, it said "file is corrupt." Has anyone else had this issue?

When I try to upload my resume, I get the friendly error:

"The site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Sorry for the inconvenience."

Crashed on the first day...

So....what did you guys put in the 'skills' page? Guess I'll expound on my 'expert' customer service and telling jokes on the intercom skills

I used the plug-n-play as well. On the reply email they send you, click 'upload a resume' on the right side of the email. You may then upload any resume you may have with hours, etc on it. Looks like this is in addition to the wizard.
