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?
I think the pool is being depleted, if not depleted, so apply.
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?
Depends. They look at PIC hrs alot...a numbers thing.
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.
I think you need letters of recommendation from swa plts. He probably knows someone and just doesn't know that he does. Was he prior military or commercial? You can always get a plt list to see if you know someone.
DH doesn't have his 737 type yet, but he only has to get it if he gets the job right??
Right, can get it after hired.
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??
Rumor is maybe 2010...rumor though. Don't think it would be too SR, DAL and HOU have that job!!
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.
