Southwest Pilot Credentials...
 
Would anyone with knowledge about entering flight times on the site please PM me. When entering my flight times I am over 150 hours of total time short of what I actually have. However, Airlineapps is dead accurate, and I'm thinking its the lack of a "dual time" entry location on the Pilot credentials page. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

i have the same issue since thee is no place to count your dual received time.

GatorHog 06-23-2017 09:53 AM
Put dual and student time in the SIC column and annotate it in the Notes line over to the right.

Hatrick32 06-24-2017 08:38 AM
Awesome, I will try that...thank you!

What Gator said. Put dual received into the SIC column. They want your resume and P-Cred TT to match. Since there is no dual column, the SIC column is the only logical fix. A SWA recruiter told me to do this when reviewing my app.

Question regarding the FAQ on SWpilotcredentials can you count Instructor/evaluator time as PIC only if military? Does 121 Sim Instructor time count as PIC?

One more Q. I transferred letters of rec straight over from Airline apps within that format. Bad idea?

Thank you,

You are not suppose to put sim time in at all, look under the qualification tab

Safest bet is to upload them in .pdf format from your computer. Same for anything else you upload like your resume. Keeps things consistent and ensures they won't have issues viewing the documents.

From what I understand, they don't even look at rec letters until you are selected to interview. I didn't upload any, just hand carried a few to the interview. Once selected to interview, current employees can do online recommendations for you through the company network. As soon as you get the invite, ask folks you know at the company to do the online rec.

Good luck!

Sorry to hit this one again, but on SWAPilotcredentials under the tab questions I see a line that states Instructor/evaluator time may be counted towards PIC. I am a 121 sim instructor for over two years and have never logged this time. Could I count this? How about sim check airmen evaluation time?

Thank you..

The reason they put this on there is primarily for military guys who can have lots of time in their logbook where they didn't sign for the plane but they are still acting as an instructor or evaluator. Yes, if you have instructor time in an airplane you can certainly count it, but sim time is just that...sim time.
By all means, put your time in the sim on your resume as it is great experience and something worth talking about, but it isn't flight time.

Piston Time
 
Here's another PilotCredentials question that's probably been asked but I can't find a answer to. Do I have a bunch of time in light piston aircraft. Does that go under the light piston/rotor column? I don't want to input a bunch of helicopter time on accident.

Yeah that's where it goes. There's a box to the far right that you put the actual aircraft type in, if you choose to break it down. I have tons of rotor time. I put my rotor time in there along with a separate entry for each of my FW light piston. So I have about 8 entries for light piston/rotor. And in the box on the right in each one it says the actual acft type.

Thanks for the reply Wolf. Faced with a lack of other options, I put all my light recip time in those boxes and specified aircraft type. I'm sure they run into this all the time.

Do you think it makes my app less likely to get pulled if I put just one entry for all my single recip time? I just put the different types in the box on the right separated by commas.

I did exactly that, and it wasn't an issue at all. One "Multi Piston" line with aircraft types, and one "Single Piston" line that just said "Various" because I've flown so many different ones.

They didn't ask about it, and I was hired.

Great to know. Thanks CA1900.

Won't know unless you apply. But first you have to know that it's called Southwest, not South West. :D

Apply, cross all the 't's and dot all the 'i's. There were people in my class without a degree. It's not a deal breaker though it makes it a bit tougher.

Just do the application and let the process work. Keep up to date on the Pilot Credentials site.

Both SWA's application and Pilot Credentials must be complete and current, within the window which is still open for a few days. Just because you are up to date on one doesn't mean both are complete. Make sure both sites are current.

I didn't realize you had to do both. So I have the pilot credentials all filled out and completed. I now clicked the link to apply for the FO postition and it's asking me to login. I've never created a login I don't think and can't seem to find where to do that?

What about when you put an employee referral in your application? Does that count for anything, or does the app get selected by the computer?

Doesn't affect the selection for interview. It will only be looked at after being selected for an interview.

Several people in other threads have mentioned adding references in Pilot Credentials, and the employee referral above. Is there still a part to do that? I'm not seeing it, only that you can upload a letter of recommendation.

The references and employee referral options become available after you're invited to interview. The upload function is the only thing available before that but, according to the company, uploading letters of rec won't have an impact on getting the invite. Letters and references aren't considered until the interview and decision board.

deltajuliet 08-09-2017 01:46 PM
Thank you so much, that's very helpful.

Marko 08-09-2017 01:47 PM
There is a "how did you hear about this opening" on the questionnaire. You can put employees in that spot.
