Default Apps on file

It's been documented that DAL, UAL, AA each have about 11,000 apps on file. Anyone know how many on file at SWA?

Doubt there's anywhere near 11k apps on file still at the legacies. I'd guess it's more around 5-7k. LCC's probably have in the 3-6k range.

Just remember, we are talking about the SAME 11,000 pilots applying at 5-6 airlines.

During the career fair SWA had right around 2000 people apply within the first 6 hours of the application window opening. So I think they are sitting good right now with applicants, we will see what a few more years does to the applicant pool.

DAL/UAL/AA also have my app on file. Neither has been updated since I got hired at SWA. I wonder if it's included in the count...

Don't know about AA, but DAL/UAL will expire 1 year after you paid for them, if you don't renew. I was emailed for the hogan literally on the day my UAL app was to expire. Was already on at AA (LUS) hadn't updated it or thought about it in a while.

2,000 apps isn't that many when there's multiple airlines hiring 700+ every year for the foreseeable future. Even if that number is more like 5-6000

At SWA fair they also said they only they consider the apps after each application window. At the United veterans event they said after a year of no updates/activity the computer doesn't look at the app when they do a pull. Even so at 11000 apps and roughly 4000 hires a year that pool "should" dry up pretty quick. Rumor mill from American captain was they don't have much of a pool outside of their pipeline program. I'd be more curious how many new ATPS are being made each year to fill projected need over the next 5-10 years.
