Yes, same format. Great people and a great time. I am hoping this works out. I am here for the duration, if it does.
I'm with you brother. Hoping for a successful first/last interview with a great company. Good luck!

Since Southwest does business with the Federal Government (DOD Charters) they are no longer allowed to have pools. As for the ratio when I was hired in 1994 it was 1:6

Curious about why they are not allowed to have pools in that case.

Yeah, it't not the best odds to best against or with.

I think it's going to be 50% in our group of 6 people. I am hoping for a tad more.... lol but hey I get it!

That being said, anyone have any input about references being called? 3 of 6 have had them called as of Tuesday (interview was late last week) ....

Any references being called is a good sign. No calls to references is obviously not so good :-/

Does anyone know what special qualifications are triggering the interview calls? ie. B737 Type, Military pilot, Check Airman etc, recent currency etc?

Are most people doing an interview prep? Or was there not enough time?

That's the first I've heard of this. I know both Atlas and FedEx do DOD charters and they have pools with people in them right now. Why couldn't SWA have one?
