Southwest hiring update/future classes
Southwest just finished cleaning up the pool, hiring 120 pilots in April-May-June. Interviews resume next week, and will take place during several weeks of each month through the rest of the year.
Classes: 1 class in July only, with 1 each in August and September. After that hiring "should" pick up in preparation for the 2006 aircraft deliveries....
SWA originally projected to hire 400 in 2005, and as of this week they're up to 360. So the 400 number should be easily exceeded.
Apply online
Southwest payscale, pilot domiciles, etc

By my ID you can probably guess I am not a pilot…I am just doing a little research for my husband while he is out busting his butt for our family. So thank you for making it so CRYSTAL CLEAR. I wish there were more people out there that take the time to spell things out in such SIMPLE terms!

Might want to get your information correct. If more attention was paid to detail, you would see that my Join date was July 2005 and I have 2 posts. And lets get one thing straight, I was not asking for your help. I was just verifying my information was correct. And yes, my husband does work hard, but at least he is not a blah blah blah.
"Richard Cranium" I agree with you completely!

Life is tough, my husband works hard, please help us, blah, blah, blah. I think everyone is willing to help out, but when you ask a question, dont expect to hear what you want to hear. This inudstry is tough, as im sure you know, so lose the sensitivity and welcome aboard.

Hey flaps 9
I take it by your profile you must work for Transtate Airlines, and if everybody there has your attitude, that would explain a lot. Get a life and try to have some courtesy.
As for Pilotswife although SW does not require a Type Rating to get an interview or even a job offer, I am told that the reality of the situation is that without they would not even interview you, because they have a lot of applicants that have a type rating. Keep looking out for your husband, just like my wife does for me.
Good luck!!
