Instructor role
Hi all. To add to this thread, I’m an 8 year regional guy who recently lost my medical.
Really interested in the Southwest instructor position being advertised as Southwest was my first choice major anyway. Anyone have any insights?
I read somewhere that SWAPA was grieving the direct-entry, full-time position so
A) Would I be unpopular with classmates/colleagues in this role?
B) Would I get rolled in to the general pilot group if the role goes away (assuming I can get my medical back!)
Any insights would be extremely helpful!! TIA.

I’m guessing some of the situational based ?’s will expose some kind of procedural/knowledge but I honestly don’t know how many ?’s or what kind they ask.

Three-part interview; Logbook review, HR panel, scenario based panel.
Logbook review - ...
HR Panel - Questions to know you and why SWA. Be yourself and be honest with them and with yourself, just my two cents.
Scenario - Nothing technical, just trying to see where your thoughts are. At least that's what it seemed like to me.

But skipping even ONE class could be the difference between a furlough, or staying on property…
between getting the domicile you want or a cross country commute…
between reserve or lineholder…
between working weekends and holidays, or being at home…
between upgrade or stagnation…
Get your number. THEN go do whatever was more important between now and January.
