The crazy thing with a large/long pool in these crazy hiring days is that you have to ask how many of the 600 in the WN pool will be gone to AA/DL/UA before they ever get a class date at WN?

I don't seem many of the 600 waiting for the WN class date if one of the other 3 calls. This is not a slam on WN, just a realistic look at where they are in the movement opportunities among the majors.

400 to 500 of those same names are in the pools at Big-3. Those that do go to SW will likely go to Big-3 if Big-3 calls within 6 months of starting SW indoc.

100 or so are "diehard" SW'ers with parents who work for SW or a spouse who works there, etc.

Glad I beat the rush of apps. Applied back in Nov and interviewed in Dec. Currently waiting for a class date. Was told to expect May timeframe due to no classes in March and April already being full.
