I still stand by my statement that the face time is essentially useless. The PD is seeing about 250 INTERVIEWEES per month that they can't remember ever talking to by the next month. I sat next to one at a Higher Power lunch, chatted and laughed with her for over an hour, inteviewed with her a couple of months later, and she couldn't remember ever meeting me. I was in HQ with a couple of my buddies one day and we all saw a another person that had interviewed all of us 1.5 months prior. We went over to talk to her, and she couldn't remember any of us.
If SWA isn't interested in meeting people before the interview, then why are they organizing their own job fair? Going to the event could be the quickest way to get an interview in the first place. Even if the guy on your interview board doesn't remember you from the job fair, the very fact that you went would help in the interview, and if you can remember something specific that happened there, then all the better. This isn't just a walk-in open house, there's a signup sheet at FTI's website with two sessions over the course of the day, and a limit to the number of people who can sign up. Could be a great way to separate yourself from the hordes of pilots who talk about how interested they are in the company. I'll be there, so here's hoping!
Here's a link to the signup sheet, if anyone else is interested:
