7/19 interview… now night time 7/28 and still haven’t heard either way. Is it normal/unusual to go beyond the 2nd Friday to hear anything? I think I remember the person checking us in distinctly saying “you will know one way or the other by next friday 7/28 when the review board meets” but can’t remember if they said “will” or “should”
Thank you!

I think I heard about 14 hours after leaving my interview, approximately 0830 the next morning after the PM session. Delays mean you went to the board because there was something about your interview session that wasn’t agree upon by everyone from what I’ve heard. It’s not a No, more like a Maybe. Sorry to hear about the long sweat.

Thank you for your reply. I understand the review board route, but to clarify, I meant to ask if it’s normal for the RB to go past the 2nd Friday. I am not the only one who hasn’t heard back anything at all

No, it not normal. Most CJO’s go out the next day. If you bothered to listen at all during the briefing before your interview you would remember being told in no uncertain terms that if you do not hear back by the review board then you should email for an answer.

Were you in his interview group?
Do you know what he was told?

Have some class.

thank you. I did bother, but just wanted to confirm before I do anything so figured I’d ask here and see what feedback I get. Sorry if I disrupted your evening.

Great, another one slips through the cracks.

That’s what I thought. The one asking the question is probably the good fit.

They told our group probably 20 times throughout the day. 20 times they told us the date to email if nothing heard after the decision board and not a minute earlier.

I don’t know about you but I’d rather work with people who can pay attention and follow directions. But that might just be me though.

if you expect people to pay attention/follow directions or even show up to work to do their jobs you're going to be very frustrated here

I think it’s everywhere now. I almost imploded at an airport Starbucks last trip. It was unreal.

Man, getting told the process 20 times would have been nice. I felt I was listening intently as we were told one time in the first 5 minutes of our process, in passing and amidst an amalgam of other information nonetheless, to expect to hear back no later than the Friday 9 days after the date of the interview. I may very well be wrong, but I don’t think anything was said about sending an email, let alone an address where to send it. I figure I’ll just let the chips fall and enjoy a day at the lake tomorrow with my family, and then follow up Monday afternoon if I don’t hear by then. I guess the worst case is I don’t do another indoc in the very immediate future, best case I’ll be about a month behind you in seniority and enjoying a few months in Dallas in the fall. Lockhart Smokehouse in Bishop Arts is worth a trip or two for some beef shoulder if you get the time. First pound is on me. Great cigar shop next door too. Again I am truly sorry to have upset you, I was just checking all available resources before making a move because it seemed like a responsible thing to do.

[email protected] was the address they told you to reach out to if you hadn’t heard anything. Out of curiosity, have you checked you missed call log? Anything unusual that doesn’t seem like spam? Maybe you missed the call? If the news is bad, at least you only have to wait 3 months.

Thank you. I will email them on Monday afternoon if I don’t hear back. I have heard from several of my LOR’s that have received a call from WN HR. I have not missed any calls or found any emails sent to junk folder, and I am not the only one who hasn’t heard back. Several people are still waiting with radio silence.

Like people have said, it's you.

Also, if you expect to be satisfied here by paying attention and following directions, you're gonna have a bad time. Any new procedure, policy, manual revision, or technique will have several conflicting sets of directions that ultimately brick whatever they're trying to have you do.

You have to kind of read between the lines to try and interpret their intent. Unfortunately, sometimes that intent was decided between two random people in a parking lot 20+ years and is only told to you during a disciplinary hearing.

If you're a fan of clear instructions and doing what you're told, you might want to go to Delta.

That’s sound advice for anyone looking at SWA right now.

Congratulations, I got mine today too. I believe the review board was rescheduled from Friday to today, for some reason or another. Thank you everyone for the insight

Yes and yes.

Were you the 730 or 1030 group? Get an offer? Do they call or email?

7:30, call.

Betty 08-01-2023 09:18 AM

I assume that's a good call. I was 730 as well, nothing yet. I hate this waiting game.

Didn't you only wait for one day so far? Many of us waited a decade for the interview and then weeks or months to find out if we got it.
Hang in there. What will be, will be.

Betty 08-10-2023 12:25 PM

Well, tomorrow is the chief pilot review board for interviews. What time does this review usually begin and what time will us interviewees hear of their decision? I was a 7/31 interview.
Thanks

Yungpilot 08-10-2023 01:41 PM

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I’m looking for recent info on the whole application to class date timeframe. When offered an interview, how quickly are they scheduling it? If you accept a CJO, how long is it taking to get in class? Thanks!

You got any other options? For all the contract BS it still beats working at a regional. We have a lot of work to do to get the contract where it needs to be to alleviate the company BS control over the schedules....but if you live in or near a SWA base....I'd do it.
