Nope, the hiring department was less than impressed.

No kidding! Really? So they didn’t find it amusing?

That kind of thing might have worked for VX. Might work for WN, but probably wouldn't work for DAL.

Nothing about his site is particularly dooshy. It is a bit risky IMO given that his dad works there. He should get called eventually if there's nothing wrong with him, but if this kind of social media outreach annoys someone who matters he might poison the well.

Double-edged sword... might impress the non-pilot decision makers, but might annoy old skool pilots involved in hiring. Your call.

I think he would have a better chance had he engaged in some proofreading and talked less about websites and moisturizer. But that’s just me.

I have heard that the SWA folks at the interview expect the candidate to have a professional demeanor/appearance. Not sure if it is still Herb and Company circa 1985 anymore. If I was lucky to be called, I would not be wearing Bermuda shorts.

If you are doing that at an interview, what do you look like when we expect you to fly ?

I didn't see a box to check on the application asking if you have ever created a YouTube channel. His algorithm generated score will be the same. What does suck in this new hiring selection method is that his Dad can't even help.

Oh, and if the computer never picks him at SWA it will be hard to explain in his Delta interview why working at Delta is all he ever dreamed about. F*cking computers!

That's exactly how I see it. This guy just burned all bridges. I think I remember him saying he liked Southwest a lot, but that limits his options to, well... Southwest. If Southwest won't call, or if he gets an interview and blows it, then what? Skywest captain for life, I guess.

And now everyone knows his name, address and everything else too.
I am not sure if this was the attention he was truly seeking. But he does deserve credit for trying. And I would have thought that if your dad worked at SWA you would not have to do all this to get noticed.

Standard practice to not list flight experience on a resume, and state to reference the application?

This guy would be best served by taking down his videos and websites. First, his videos aren’t even funny. Second, after learning about him, he sure as hell isnt someone that I’d want to share a cockpit with.
