Just a point of clarification...does SW still send interview invites via email or are they making phone calls? Thanks.

Emails for interview invitations. Phone calls for the job offer.

It depends on when your hiring board is after you interview. Could be as much as a month or as little as a week or so.

Depends on when you interview. In my case I received the email inviting me to interview Jan. 2nd and interviewed mid January. Our DB met on Feb. 4th. I was called the evening of the 4th and some others were called on the 5th.

I believe the decision boards usually meet early in the month. If they don't tell you when your DB will be meeting for your interview group, just ask, it's not secret information.

Best of luck to you!

Concur. Our window is about 2 1/2 weeks from interview to calls. Some in our group have had refs called. Waiting is killing me! Good luck to all.

Additionally, in the two and a half weeks between my interview and the DB, my chief pilot (that was not a reference) was called as a ref. and only one of my 3 internal SWA refs were called. None of my external refs were called. I was also asked to take my drug test in this timeframe. They did tell us during the interview not to read too much into these calls because they were just getting a head start on the process because of the short deadline to starting class. I guess my point is, don't get too worried if your refs aren't getting called. None of my externals were called, only one of my internals was called and I still got good news.

Dude...thank you. You just made my weekend a lot easier. I have been sweating it for the last three days but clearly just need to wait and relax.
I hope you have a great weekend and if we ever meet the first four rounds are on me.

I'll add my thanks for that note as well. The quiet is excruciating. Gonna be a long week, but trying hard not to obsess (it's not working, really). Hope to see you there.

Exact same thing happened to me. You can't read into how they conduct the background checks. It seems to be different for everyone.
