2 of my externals have told me SWA reached out to them a few weeks ago. Saying thanks for the letter of rec and if you need to add anything.

Good luck, hope see you on the line soon!
Thank you for that advice. I will talk to some of my internals. I obviously don't want to ruffle feathers, but I do want to know if it is still being looked at (Background checks still being done, etc) or if it is time to move on.

It's always time to move on... Worst case, you'll have 2 or more CJOs to choose from. FedEx Express just indicated they're dropping some min requirements and have a huge hiring outlook, don't risk missing the hiring surge waiting for one or another company to call. Seniority is king, the sooner you get a class date the better. You have NO IDEA where the next furlough cut line will be, and you'll kick yourself forever if you miss a furlough cut by a single class date.

They have seemed to changed things.

Backgrounds are happening before the in person, every LOR I’ve written has been verified before going to DAL.

I’ve had a few people slip through the cracks communication wise… which is a bad look. But, unfortunately it seems not getting the CJO in the timeframe they give you is not a good sign. I also don’t know if they’ve changed the “meaning” of the CJO…it was said to my interview group 4’ish years ago that it meant nothing ….no joke 10x. I don’t think this same message is being transmitted to that extent in 2022.

I’m starting to think that’s going to be the case. My app dashboard does say “in progress”.

I have emailed pilot hiring to see if they have any info.

Most people I went with knew the CJO email just meant you were going to the pilot review board and you didn’t have the job yet. It was just another step before getting the call.

Just got the TBNT email. Thanks for the help. Zero clue what I said/did wrong but life goes on.

Good luck out there all.

I’m sorry to hear that. SWA is strange with hiring decisions, I don’t get it at times. Best of luck to you.

Sounds identical to my time line for sure, sorry man! You'd think SW will have to go the way Delta is going and dropping the time to reapply down to 6 months with all the airplane deliveries coming....

I'm sure that change is not too far off...

The hard part I guess is not knowing what I did wrong. So even if I get to try again, I am not sure what I need to correct? I left DAL thinking I did great. Logbook review went great. All questions and times answered immediately with nothing but smile responses. The LOI went as well as I could fathom….I am not sure what more I could say or do to get in. Good part is I have a United interview in a few weeks.
