After Interview......
 

Curious to know if certain phases of the interview process hold more weight than others? Do in-house recommendations, letters of rec, LOI, etc., hold more weight in their decision? Loved the whole process, but after you can second guess yourself. Wish I had said more during during LOI debrief.

You, in the flesh, hold more weight than all the letters of rec in the world put together. They called you in because they legitimately wanted to hire you; it was up to you to convince them otherwise. But you already knew that.

The fact that you even have doubts is probably a good sign. It means you more than likely didn't come across as a conceited, self-important tool. The process seems to do a remarkable job of identifying and filtering out that type of personality.

same here brother!

Which window were you called from?

Process
 

I heard from somebody who knows somebody...
Interviewees may end up in three buckets. Bucket 1 is must hire. Bucket 2 is may hire. Bucket 3 is no hire. The interview weighs heavily in deciding which bucket you end up in. The LORs can really help to balance out one weak part (of three) of the interview day. If all three parts are weak (fail) even LORs won’t be able to make up for that. Thus LORs make no difference until you actually interview.
As Jeff mentioned, you doubting yourself, is a good sign. It means you are not Mr. Perfect. Rather you are striving for perfection, but will never get there. After 25 years I am still working on that perfect flight.
References should be called within two weeks. If that does not happen within the next two weeks, it may be time to get concerned. Until then try to relax (which is really hard).
Good Luck!

Same boat man. I think I did well on LOI and log book, but doubting myself on the HR portion. I don’t think I messed it up, but could have given some better answers.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I appreciate it. I really want to finish my career at Southwest. We'll see what happens??

Waiting on the DB can make you a bit anxious!! Anyone else waiting?

I was sent a personal email about them starting my background checks, etc., and one of my references has been checked, that I know of anyway. Pray these are all good signs. Has anyone only had one reference called and been hired?

Background checks/ref calls in progress is always a good sign.

I had 2 called and got the job.
