Congratulations, and all the best. I assume there are certain parameters put into pilot credential that spits out the "chosen ones."

That's great news. Congrats! Does anyone know if that means SWA has sent out ALL of their invites? Should I cross SWA off my list?

Last round of hiring, it took a few days, if not weeks, for SWA to send out all the email invites. If they are going to interview 4-600 for 200 jobs, it will take a few days to get all those emails out. OR, I could be wrong...

I think it's only the beginning. I expect they will invite folks for the next few months, depending on their needs and the firm hires they get.

Are you applying to SWA only?
Sounds like you would be what DAL/UAL/AAL would be looking for.

Congrats HJS! I had a senior director of training in my jumpseat last week. He indicated that the hiring number was revised by crew planning and we will hire "well over 200", but wouldn't give me a number. Hopefully it is in the 300 - 400 range. Best of luck to all!

SWAPA (SWA union) guy was in lounge days before current hiring window was announced by company. He asked a few of us junior guys if "hiring 400 new hires would help us out?"

So another data point on the "maybe greater than 200" rumor. Obviously not solid intel - just a data point.

I've heard the "500" number bandied about...
