I don't think there's a bias against 121 time. I do think they put a heavy premium on military time.

Doubt it. Southwest hires the person not the quals.

I have a March 5th class date at SWA!

White Male. Age 42
Civilian
9500 TT All part 135

This was my second interview. The first time I had no 737 type, but the second time around I had the type.

When was your interview? Did they start the background check at the same time they called your references?

Congratulations!

Interview was second week in Dec. Rec's called the third week in Dec. Yes, background was done at the same time.

I got the call for the PHX CP on the 8th of Jan.

I live in the Dallas area, so sitting as an FO in DAL for a long time will be a joy!

Onetimer, do you know when your DB was? How long between the DB and when you received your call?

Onetimer 01-24-2014 10:02 AM

I was told the Jan DB was on the 6th.

That's awesome, congrats again! Thanks for the info.

should say..."sitting as an FO waiting a long time for DAL" I think it's pretty senior.
