Interview gouge
 

Maybe, but not always. I've known a couple people get all the refs called only to get the 'thanks but no thanks' email. The 'call' usually comes about two weeks later.

I had a guy that they called me about not get it...(I said all positive stuff about it, that’s why I recommended him) thought it wasn’t the norm but possibility exists

As do I. But it’s true the other way that if none called, you didn’t make it past the interview.

That’s usually because there’s something in their background that disqualified them.

Anybody know what the average TT of new hires is? Is it still pretty high or is becoming 5500-6000 competitive?

You already know this, but I think any average is going to be meaningless since TT numbers are all over the place depending on what kind of experience you bring. There are guys with well over 10k hours who have never gotten an interview, and guys who barely make the mins who get hired. It would be intellectually interesting to see a scatter graph that shows all the TTs, maybe there would be some grouping that shows a particular sweet spot for any given demographic, but even there the spread is all over the place.

This has been stated a few times, but I highly recommend Vicki Ross at Ace Interview Prep for any upcoming interviews. You can check out her bio on her website; she’ll prepare you well for Southwest. I also like that she charges by the hour based on what you think you need, which is definitely a plus if you’ve already paid for another service in the past. Go to the Ace Interview Prep website and check it out.
