I'd just relax. You will find out by the end of the week most likely. They said "getting the drug test is neither good nor bad." Some have gotten hired in the past without it and others didn't get hired with it. Not much that can be changed now. Sleep well and live each day to the fullest. Best of luck to you!

Thanks much for the info. I really appreciate your looking into it.

My guess is they just haven't got to your spot in the paperwork. They emailed me for the drug test last week and I interview the first week of Jan. I would say don't sweat it, but I'm in the same db and I'm just as anxious.

Good luck man!!! Post here when you hear something…I'll do the same.

Hope the calls are rollin in for everyone else.

Got my interview email invitation on Jan 2
Interviewed third week of Jan
Asst Chief Pilot and one internal SWA ref called on Jan 20
Recieved my copy of background check in the mail Jan 27
Got my drug test email from SWA on Jan 28

Everything happened relatively quickly for me but the DB seems so far away!

Got the call tonight! Expect to get another call within the next week for some more info and class dates. Very excited!

I got the call this a.m. So beyond excited to have another shot at an airline career after almost 14 years at my last.

Got the call from the MDW CP this morning. Beyond excited as this was my second interview. Thanks to everyone who's helped on and off of this forum. Looking forward to seeing you all in class!

There are rumors of a Feb 26 class, that's what People told one of the new hires when they called to get some additional info from him.

So wondering how did you get a Mar 5 training commitment when you interviewed two weeks after us and 8 of us have not heard anything??

I'd guess that the call (or email) has to do with when the PRIA checks are complete. They don't do those with the original background check that is done on many interviewees prior to the DB.

I was also told by someone in the office that within interview groups, class dates come by Last name while seniority comes by Age within a class, fwiw.
