That worked! Thanks for your help!

Palmtree Pilot

So I need some opinions about how to apply in the next window. I have been reapplying since 2015 and updating pilot credentials biweekly to monthly. I haven't applied in every window as I wasn't getting emails to let me know it was open. I have 4 submissions to different requisitions on my icims.com dashboard, the last being the January '17 window. I first applied to SWA in 2012 with 2k plus jet PIC and have never heard a peep. I have 5 types on my US ATPL, but not the B737. Lots of buddy that work there are baffled and can't seem to get any clarification on what I need to do differently. One suggestion was to start over again with a new profile.

My question is: Should I apply in the next window with a different email address in the company's icims.com app and change my pilot credentials account to use that email?

OR

Should I just reapply in the new window with the same email and dashboard currently set up in the icims.com website, but "withdraw" all the other submissions that are on there now?

Maybe I do both?

Just baffled by reading guys submit app once and get a call the next month... and I haven't heard anything in 5 years. Am I outside their targeted window with almost 10k hrs and currently flying jumbos for foreign company? I live in the states still.

Any advice or ideas would be more than welcome, THANKS!

Are you able to check any of the boxes like Check Airman, Safety, Director of Ops, etc? Are you/have you been an instructor?

If not, I'd bet $100 that's the issue. There needs to be some progression somewhere.

On my Dashboard I have 4 applications that have been submitted over the years. Should I withdraw the previous 3 and obviously just have the most current one on file? Not sure if they want to see a record of how long you've been applying? Persistence right!?! thx

How could it hurt leaving them up? Like you said, there's a record there that shows you've been applying. I say leave 'em.

I hear ya. 6000hrs, 75% of which is turbine PIC, 737 typed and currently flying, and two years so far of no call. Ive had my application professionally reviewed etc. Lots of friends within SWA to help out. Hoping the phone rings this time around. Best of luck to everyone hoping to get in!

I'll ask the same as I asked the other guy...do you check any of the extra boxes like Director of Ops, Check Airman, Safety, etc?

I didn't get hired, but I interviewed a few weeks ago and I had my app in only since the previous window.

Unfortunately, no. I can honestly say that in my previous work history there has never been the opportunity. Positions like that were held by people who never left, and the line pilot position was a (slowly) rotating door. Its not that I didnt seek a leadership position, it just was never an opportunity. Granted, the vast majority of my career has been with corporate departments.

That's my issue too. I've been applying for over 10yrs without a peep. I always commuted, so sim instructor or LCA were not something I wanted to pursue (wish I did now). Now that I'm a corporate guy, there's no opportunity for that.
