Got the email today as well, thank the Lord. Brightened up my day after my first take home check from Eagle came in today. Good luck and best wishes to all. Hope the Guy upstairs smiles on everyone, seems like things are looking better all around.

for those that keep asking
3000+ PIC, F-16 IP, 737 Type, EMJ-145 Type, Masters Degree, Navigator
C-130, Air Traffic Controller.

Not to stray too far from course, but are there pilots who think they can't make an upgrade to captain from FO after watching the guy do the job for 6-9 years?

To keep it a little on topic, I had to wait 5 days for the link. I was worried because my original application had a typo in the zip code and when I went to edit the zip code, I somehow completely reapplied for a different position number. I was thinking HR was gonna make a point to skip me for being an IT du-mas. :P

I applied on the 12th but have not received the 2nd e-mail yet. Checked all the boxes, military, Part 91/121/135, typed, etc.

Dudemize, I am in the same boat. Applied on the 12th too, Typed, mil, etc... Did you create a pilot credentials login on the 12th too or update your existing one?

Dude/Tulsa: From the outside looking in I think there may have been some IT glitches on the SWA end initially. I believe someone confirmed that on this forum.

Like you I submitted on the 12th. No email.

Went to the SWA Career site and noticed the 9/12/13 posting was closed followed by a newer posting. I completed that one AGAIN. Got my email response 2 days ago.

Hopefully that is the issue and not SPAM folder issues. Best of luck.

Update,

I have interviewed back in 2011, and then have reapplied during this window. I have updated continuously my pilot credentials profile since my interview. I did not receive the second email directing me to the pilot credentials site until yesterday. I applied on the 12th as well.

Hey guys. I have a friend in management that told me they were having issues with their IT department. I applied on the 12th and received the email for the link on the 17th. I already had a pilot credentials account and I had already updated my profile. Sounds like they're getting everything caught up now and taken care of. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL.

6400 TT
4000+ jet/turbine PIC
737 type plus 2 other types

I just updated my existing one. I'm not too worried about the e-mail at this point. Based on the earlier post from the hiring department, it seems they are telling people to update their stuff even if you haven't received the e-mail.

I had also submitted my stuff on the 12th and had not gotten a follow up e-mail. My friend at work applied the 14th and got an e-mail on the 17th. Looking at his stuff Vs. mine I noticed something. In order to make the "plain text" resume look correct I had used the underscore ( _ ) key in place of some spaces. It made the resume look good to the human eye, but what if it was not a human looking at it? What if it was just a computer program looking for key words and numbers? Would the underscores confuse the program?

The night of the 18th I went back in and reformatted my plain text resume to remove all the underscores. Lunchtime the next day I had the follow up e-mail.

Not sure if that could be your problem or not, but I would feel bad if someone missed an opportunity for something as simple as formatting.

Applied on the 13th and got the link to PC today- it just takes time and patience- like a lot of things in this industry. Had a previous PC app in from last hire window- updated it right after SWA app on the 13th (and still got the 'link' email today..). Will look it over again for errors.... Remember: step 1- breath in slowly. Step 2- breath out slowly and smile. Repeat as necessary....
