So SWA is loosing pilots (not many but not 100% retained) ... they are planning a 450 new hire this year but they only got 100 out of the Expo ... and we are 1/2 way 2019 Q2 ... what's going on ... MAX 8 grounded can be one reason!

Happens everywhere. I had a friend leave SWA at year three to FEDEX. Had another leave American awaiting training to come to SWA, and another leave UPS after training to come to SWA. Pretty sure most will jump at the first offer, but when later faced with options do what’s best for them. Luckily, a lot of pilots have options at the moment, so can skip the career long commute, do that international flying, trade whiney pax for silent boxes, trade fast upgrades for perceived job security, etc.

People that went to the Feb expo are still interviewing...literally this week, last week, and into May. Not sure where you got the "only got 100" tidbit but it's a bit premature to say how successful, or not, the expo was.

That's why I was looking to update my application. I did an update on Pilot Credentials yesterday, but the careers site didn't let me do anything resembling an update. Hopefully they can pull straight from Pilot Credentials when the time comes.
Good luck, everybody!

All I’ve been doing on ICIMS (is that the careers website you’re talking about?) is just updating my resume with current hours. That’s really all I can see on there to do.
Edit: I just read your previous post. I believe I remember something about them saying at the expo that if your emails match on the careers page and PC then they will marry up and all the info will be there for them to see. Good luck!
