Default SWA.PilotCredentials.com Maintenance Announce

Hello Person with active profile,

Pilot Credentials is in the process of making some exciting improvements to our system. in order to perform these upgrades, our system will be down beginning Sunday the 26th around 12:00AM Central Standard Time. The system will be back on line Monday, February 27th. You will not be able to access your profile during this blackout period.

Beginning next week, you will notice a few changes to your profile including some new data elements. While we will make every effort to protect the integrity of your data, I encourage you to check your profile for completeness next week. If you find any irregularities, please contact us at [email protected].


Sincerely
Richard B. Trocino

CEO/PilotCredentials.com
Check your stuff next week. Neither PC or SWA is very good at this.

I got the same thing, only it came from the FedEx pilot credentials site.

I wonder what the "exciting" part is going to entail?

Crap. Before you even get to new hire class and sacrifice a puppy right in front of Herb and Colleen there's going to be ANOTHER requisite?

About a month or so ago, the application changed without notice. Unfortunately, my application went a few weeks not completely filled out.

It is nice to see PC is alerting us to the changes.

Haven't you been at DAL for a few years now? Why would you want to leave?

As far as the app changing, it was on the last window when they had you fill out an additional section for HR that was on the regular SW jobs section. That was in addition to the pilotcredentials site.

The email they sent out right before that window opened had specific directions that unless both were filled out a person wouldn't be considered for interview.

To express interest in Southwest Pilot positions, please go to Southwest Airlines Careers. Once there, click “View All Job postings” and express interest in the open pilot requisition by uploading your resume and answering the prescreening questions.

Having a profile on Pilot Credentials will NOT make you a Pilot candidate for consideration; you must also take the steps above to express interest through Southwest Airlines Careers. If you previously applied through southwest.com during our last hiring event, it is still necessary to complete this step for this hiring event. After completing the steps above on Southwest Airlines Careers, please also review and update your existing profile at https://swa.pilotcredentials.com/ . Some areas on that website have changed and it is important that your profile information is current, complete and accurate.

The exciting parts are as follows:

Fedex wants to verify your English proficiency endorsement, SWA now only counts jet time as TPIC (have sent a note to PC to verify this), and Mark Perry Airlines wants to know your favorite color and what is your quest.

Somewhere they wanted a total instrument time and years instrument rated, and the flightime grid requires some checking on your part.

Not kidding about Mark Perry.

Where are you seeing that they only count jet time as TPIC? I did not see this anywhere. Just curious....

Last tab, which is gone, showed a green or red checked series of boxes verifying quals.

It is gone but that statement was in that section.

Home page changed since yesterday too.
