Southwest hiring window is open.
 

The window is open if you're looking to apply.

https://pilots-southwest.icims.com/j...icer/job?hub=5

I just applied via Southwest's webpage.

You don't have to use a third party website like airlineapps.com? I was quite surprised at how quick and spartan the application process was. Come to think of it, I don't even think I saw a spot to upload recommendations.

thoughts?

The initial app is done on the Swa site. It will then trigger an app in pilot credentials which is similar to airline apps. FedEx uses pilot credentials also. At least that's how it was last year.

So should I expect an email from pilot credentials with a SW ID, or do I just go into pilot credentials now?

Thanks.

I think you can enter your own profile

Logged in to update the SWA Pilot Credentials info and one green check mark had turned red...

"The following required fields are missing values:
Question 6, Question 7, Question 21, Question 37"

Those questions that were not there before:

6. Have you ever had action taken against your certificate in/by an FAA administrative process for a
Flight Violation?

7. Have you ever been restricted from exercising your pilot privileges or “grounded” as the result of performance related or disciplinary action?

21. Have you ever been previously employed by Southwest Airlines? If so, state position(s) and date(s).

37. Have you ever resigned or been removed from a flying, classroom or simulator flight training course
for reasons other than medical or military activation?

Speculation of a personal type for Q's 6, 7, and 37: "Gee we hired some real turds, how can we avoid these floaters going forward"

Speculation for Q 21: Optimist view "We want to help our internal hires" Pessimist view "We hate quitters, so lets make sure we don't take anyone back who left the family."

Thoughts?

It's just simply HR and the lawyers rewriting/adding questions, that's all.

A while back the Delta addendum on airlineapps was doing the SAME THING almost on a monthly basis. Had to keep logging in and check so as none of the new/added questions were all answered.

I just logged in and had the same four questions unanswer themselves. They may just want people with existing profiles to reaffirm that those four are still accurate in the timeframe the window is open. Just my guess.
