    SWA 2002 Hiring letter

    Hi everybody, I just spoke with one of the Chief Pilots today, and he said that the present plan for 2002 hiring is 420 pilots. That's a lot better than some of the numbers that have been floating around! It sure looks like a lot more classes are on the roster now, which is outstanding news...

    The SWA Pool is about to Drain...

    Orion, Jakeair is reinforcing my point as well. I am not going to compare everybody's sacrifices to get where they are...that would be counterproductive at best. Allow me to clarify my point: Virtually no one just walks in to a major airline job (especially these days). We all have worked...

    Quick 737 Type

    Hi SiouxFlyer, Congrats on the SWA interview! I went to K&S aviation in Tempe, AZ. I did a lot of home study (as recommended) beforehand, but it was a very pleasant training experience. Their instructors were excellent, preparing us each step of the way. Most of their instructors are SWA...

    The SWA Pool is about to Drain...

    Hi OrionDriver, The airline industry is a fairly volitile place (with very few exceptions like SWA). Most of the people on this site (myself included) have at some point in their career, been furloughed or layed off from a flying job. That's just the way it goes at most other airlines. There...

    Southwest Interview- Tour?

    Hi folks, The tour was really enjoyable as far as I was concerned...SWA really is a truly cool company! It is not something to be paranoid about, but it is a good opportunity to learn about the company. I do think it gives you a chance to chat with a chief pilot and show interest. Chances...

    Newhire classes - SWA

    Hi SWA/FO, I entered the pool on 11/8/01. I heard a rumor from a few different people that SWA was only planning to hire to match attrition for next year. Are you hearing plans of expansion and aircraft aquisition? I was thinking it might take 6 months to a year to get a class date being so...
