No SWA Interview
 
I typed in late May, submitted my app in late May, and now I'm looking at a possible Summer/Fall 08 class IF I get hired?! I'm more likely to get hired by UPS or FedEx sooner........this really sucks! My app has got to be near the top of the stack for the next round, but it's looking like that could be quite a while. :mad:

How many other people out there were expecting the interview email and didn't get it???

Good thing I have an AF Reserve job!

Kill-
You are not the only one. Bottom line is who do you want to work for? Six months to a year is not that long when you consider a career... Especially if you have a Reserve gig. Keep the faith man, the company isn't going to stop growing.

That sux's most guys I know get a call with in a month of type and application. With Fedex not hiring for a year looks like UPS or one of the other majors might be in your future. You could always go Delta, Con, NW and when the window opens switch.

The standard time frame, from what I know, has been 6 weeks from application to interview email if you have the type. I'm very fortunate that my wife has an outstanding job, so for now it's SWA or nothing. I have no desire to work for anyone else!

Gosh man,
I'm not going to lie to you... I am having a hard time finding it in my heart to feel sorry for you bro!!:p

I thought it was apply to everyone, get an interview, and THEN make the decision? Oh well ...

No Doubt I hope you enjoy wating for six to eight months for a letter in the mail saying no thank you. It about team not me me me.

Dudes, give KS135R a break. The man wants to work for SWA, nuthin wrong with that. I've got bro's in my unit that only wanted to haul boxes, so they only applied to FedEx and UPS - nothing says a guy has to apply to everyone.

BTW-That "buying a job with the type rating" line is worn out. Get some new material.
