@Jjohnso I have been in your shoes before. Not a fun experience, and not one I would wish on my biggest enemy. I totally get your frustrations, but you most likely will not get the reply you are looking for on this discussion board from SWA. If you have Twitter, reach out to Customer Care via a DM. I have always gotten a DM back within minutes. The team is very helpful and fair. I will tell you that when the kids get bigger, the family travel experience is so much easier.

@MsAshli I totally understand your anxiousness. I think anyone would. Continue to check your email regularly, and keep your phone close by. Since your dashboard has not updated to closed and complete, I still think you are in a good spot. Fingers crossed!

Strong applicants need to display integrity and honesty at all times with their current and hopeful employer. These characteristics say alot about ones work ethic and professionalism. If you are not having open and meaningful conversations about your career path with your current employer/ leader, you are not giving them the opportunity to be supportive of you. From my experience, most employees who have good relationships with their employer would not have an issue with a short phone call while at work. The current employer might not be thrilled with losing a great employee, but certainly should not be a road block. Side note...I work for a large company that like SWA always has hundreds of applicants for one position. When I am looking to hire new employees, I research their social media accounts and the tone of what's being posted. If a potential employee posts on a discussion board and I perceive that one is coming across as playing the blame game against a recruiter or my company, it's a red flag that the applicant will not be moving forward in the hiring process.

@Jtlarson99 congratulations on your conditional job offer! It takes time for the hiring process to be completed, and there is more paperwork on the backend that you are aware of. I promise you that you have not been forgotten. I would suggest that you practice patience and hold tight. You will be contacted before you know it.

@loupro1 for your privacy, you should remove your phone number from your post. This is not the proper way to get in communication with SWA's HR department. You should try: https://southwest.com/ or dial 1800IFLYSWA to see if someone can help you or point you in the right direction. Hope everything turns out okay for all involved.

@O2 I dont know for sure the answer, but I did find the following on the FAQ page. Can I be considered for a position that isn’t posted on careers.southwestair.com? No. In order to remain consistent in our hiring practices and to be fair to all applicants, we only accept applications for open positions listed under Search Results. Continue to check careers.southwestair.com for the next posting and/or sign up for a job alert on any job description page.

@HawaiiWes68 I dont work for SWA or have the answers to your questions... and it sounds like you already read the FAQ on the career site: https://careers.southwestair.com/D225FAQ I'm sure SWA shared as much info as they could on the FAQ page. If you do decide to move forward and apply, I think these are all great questions to ask if/when you get an interview. Good luck!

@aj028, @rkn93495 I don't know the exact timeline, but have heard it's long. Just imagine all the behind the scenes work that goes into onboarding a new employee. It's a huge investment for the airline and because of the demand, they have the luxury to take their time and hire the most qualified candidate. Good luck to you!

@Kbroderick9 Sorry to hear that you missed the call. I have actually experienced this situation myself, but I was the recruiter not the hopeful applicant. Unfortunately when you apply for a position, you have to make yourself available and try to avoid limited availability for an interview. You are the one looking for a new role, not SWA. I'm sure SWA tried to work with your limited window, but more than likely had other candidates to call. My advice for next time is to be upfront with your current employer and tell them you are expecting a call and that you have to take it. The applicant needs to do all the work to get hired, not the other way around. I hope next time the situation turns out differently for you.

@mgrant120 I would also suggest you get to know the features of the 737 aircraft. Think safety (where are the fire extinguishers located, etc) and understand how to use the equipment.
