Any ideas how many applicants SWA will have on file by the time the window closes?

Chief of pilot hiring stated 6000-7000 apps on file is what they have or expect.

Hell United has 11,000 on file. So 7000 is not that bad. Its like playing the lotto, you just hope your bingo ball gets called.

All the good majors have 7-10K apps on file...and it's the same 7-10K guys/gals.

the 10-11000 number seems pretty consistent regarding Delta, United, American. Southwest probably gets 7,000 just because 3k can't fill out the application because if the 1k tpic requirement.

That's a lot less than I would have figured. I won't even begin to do the math on this.

Walked right up, waited about 5-10 minutes without having a fast-pass. Fairly same with the rest.
