Hiring Process

I am a mid-career degrees business exec that is looking to switch careers. I have my commercial, instrument SEL and MEL, CFI, CFII and MEI. I instruct parttine and have 1300 hours total. I expect to have my atp in a few months. What is the process to apply for first officer at Southwest? I live near Philadelphia, PA and was instructing one of your captains today in GA. He told me you were potentially hiring. Thanks Brad

"In order to remain consistent in our hiring practices and to be fair to all applicants, they only accept applications for a specific position, and only when the job listing is active on the Careers page."

The flight positions would only be listed under the city of Dallas Texas, the Southwest Airlines main headquarters.

The best thing you can do is set up a profile to be notified when jobs become available. Use this link https://tinyurl.com/y8p82yya
