My DH is looking at applying to Soutwest. I have a couple quick questions about it (questions that I can think of right now at least

)
I guess for starters, are they even hiring right now or are the only people going through training right now the one's that have been sitting in the pool for a while?
How hard is it to get on there? I've always heard that they interview a lot of people at once, but then only a few will get the job....is that true?
Do you need to know people who work there to get the job? Or will he be ok b/c he doesn't think he know's anyone there.
DH doesn't have his 737 type yet, but he only has to get it if he gets the job right??
Is there any word on a Denver base? They are huge here and I'm surprised there is no base here yet. Any idea if that would that be a Sr. base??
Hum......those are the only questions I can think of right now.
If he gets an interview, I'm sure he'd love any tips from your SO's.
