Just a little history, I sent this email to the IT people at pilot credentials about a week and half ago:
Hello,
I can't go into the specifics on the technical stuff, but we have reworked some of the system logic so it can handle a higher volume of traffic. We also worked more closely with Southwest's recruiters and marketing team to ensure the directions are correct this time.
In regards to actual server load capacity, unfortunately we were not able to secure the funding to improve that, so the site may still go down if enough people attempt to register at the same time.

dear sir
Southwest's registration for their job fair starts on the 22nd of March. The registration process for the last job fair was a complete disaster. Your website crashed almost immediately and I was unable to log on let alone secure an interview slot.
The question is what are you doing differently to prevent that from happening again?

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
And this is why you don't let anyone with a pulse register. United's system for the military expo they did last year was awesome...you must have a live application and send an email with a resume if you're interested. The company sent invites out based on what was submitted.
This free-for-all thing is nothing but frustration for all involved and makes Southwest seem unorganized to prospective applicants.
