Not sure I ever saw mil flying described quite like that. Makes me wonder if maybe I did it wrong :)

I was told the same, apparently their cultures are similar and SWA likes OO’s training. I know swa dropped their PIC turbine from required to preferred, is LUV scooping up FO’s like delta is??
In my class of 24 last year, all were Capt’s in some capacity either at the regionals, corporate etc. 2/3 of the class had been Instructors at the 121/135 level or check airman, chief piliots, directors, etc.

For the current swa guys, where does southwest get most of its pilots aside from the military?
The SWAPA Facebook page has interesting stats on hiring demographics.

Those were a snapshot of just a few months of summer hiring in 2017. They don’t reflect the entire year.
