Don't you have anything better to do on a Saturday afternoon?

The statistic I'd be interested in knowing is what percentage of HPA grads that apply to SWA actually get hired compared to the other 737-type rating sources. My HPA class had a near 100% SWA hire rate - but would need a bunch more data points to try and identify a trend and call it statistically significant.

Just my 2 cents...

It'd probably be nearly impossible to find out what type source has the highest success rate of SWA applicants, but the numbers geek in me would like to know.

There were 5 in our class all together. 2 had already been hired and the other 3 had their apps in but SWA had just stopped interviewing. A year later the 3 of us interviewed and were all hired.

Just Talked with the People Department
This afternoon I talked with the very nice folks in the People Department for the second time in the last week.
Again, after welcoming me to the "pool" she very kindly informed me that she did not have much information as far as future class dates. I was part of the October 20th DB.
She was unsure about any classes at all for the remainder of this year. She also indicated that she had no information at all about new hire classes for all of next year but that anything could change at a moments notice.
She said they would be in touch by phone at least once per month going into the future or that I could call them directly with any questions or for an update.
Once new hire classes do begin, she indicated that we would be invited out of the pool in order of interview date starting with those who interviewed first (beginning of August ??) that were part of the October 20th DB. I interviewed in early September.
Again, to everyone swimming in the pool, congratulations on making it this far!! We are all very, very fortunate.

Thanks for the info JD. I got the call on the 22nd and haven't heard anything since...? I'm hoping the call wasn't someone's version of a joke, but I haven't gotten any mail either so I'll give PD a call tomorrow. From what I hear, 107 got the nod from the Oct DB, which makes the pool about 150 deep. If anyone has any other news, please pass it among. Bacon
