WN is re-establishing its interview team. The team will need to be trained up.

WN is not currently interviewing or hiring, but one could reasonably expect that process to begin in the near future.
How near? Unknown, but I would expect they do not want to be the last to get started. Opinion only.

Can someone confirm for me that SWA is NOT currently hiring?

Also, what has been the historical training pay for new hire pilots from start of indoc to completion of their type rating?

Thanks in advance.

The company called all the interviewees who were promised a job right before Covid and told them to expect classes this fall.

The company is also putting interview teams together.

So, no SWA is not currently hiring.... but all indications are they will start very soon.

Because you can only fly to Omaha so many times in a week. You need gates and slots at some of the largest airports and organic growth can never get you what is already on lock down.

And that right there is the appeal of JBA….NYC & BOS. Huge markets with high yield. SWA has said that they’re not interested in buying something they can’t get organically. Well……

That said, they’re beating the same drum about NK that they were about AirTran. Specifically, that they’re really becoming a legitimate competitor so I can see them going after NK.

Now who’s going to take all those nice Airbuses off SWA’s hands?

I don’t see them wanting to buy anyone right now. 2-5 years? Maybe. For a good deal. I doubt they’d consider themselves in a financial position to buy anyone currently.

Agree. If anything they're spotting Avelo and if they go under, they'll snipe their tails for cheap.
