Default The Real Scoop on SWA?

Hi All,

A few questions about SWA:

Have they stopped all interviews? When did they stop?

How many are in the pool?

Please anyone with accurate information, not hear say, your comments will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Interviews are continuing but not at the numbers that they were 6-9 months ago.

Rumor is that they will stop interviewing to help drain the pool. Don't know how big the pool is but I've heard rumors that it's over 300.

Classes are still being scheduled at a pretty good clip. I'm going to guess at least 5 more classes between now and the end of the calendar year (approx 100-120 pilots total).

Held yesterday. Good luck.

Calls this Friday, Weekend, or next week. Depends on their workload.

That 405 in the pool does that include the AUG DB results?

So to sum this up:

Yes, they are still calling people for interviews but at a reduced rate.

There are 400+ in the pool at this time.

Is all this correct. Thanks in advance.

That would seem to be correct. Plus those that will be selected for the Sept DB.
