@Jeverett  According to SWA’s career FAQ:   We love that you’re excited to hear from Southwest. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide individual updates; however, your application status is on your dashboard. Once we’ve filled the position, the job status will change to “closed.” “Under Review” means we’re still in the process of reviewing candidates. Please be assured all applications submitted online are carefully reviewed by our Recruiting Team, but we do receive a high volume of applications. Only the most competitive applicants will be contacted for an interview.     ... View more

@Atx2024  I would think you would need to turn down the ramp agent job, and have to start the interview process all over again for CSA. I could be wrong though. ... View more

That it is "all the TSAs fault" seems to be the well rehearsed response by all Southwest phone support, check in personnel and gate agents, for the multiple impacts getting selected for a secondary security screening causes. It's TSA, not Southwest, so you get nothing from them to help rectify the situation of getting a late C group number when you went to all the trouble to checkin and your spouse on the same reservation gets A group.  It is true that it is TSA for being selected for the secondary security screening for the one flight with the extra screening, but all the issues on subsequent connecting fights are caused by Southwest's reservation system and boarding process. There is no reason not to get assigned your legitimate place in line on the rest of your connecting flights as the TSA screening has nothing to do with them. Even worse then not being able to board with the rest of your party on the reservation on subsequent flights is losing your TSA Pre Check from paying for Global Entry on the rest of your connecting flights. On international flights you usually need to go through security again after clearing customs. On my recent trip back from Mexico, the rest of my party with TSA Pre Check cleared security in 5 minutes and then waited another 50 minutes for me to finally show up. This is very much Southwest's issue. Other airlines with different reservation systems have none of these issues. There are things that Southwest could have and should have done on my connecting flight. I clearly should have had an A group number as all other folks on the reservation with me did. All the numbers are gone since the Southwest system would not assign my connecting flight boarding position since it wouldn’t assign the 1 st flight. However, Southwest lets "special circumstance" folks board after the A group, before the B group. When I asked the gate agent in Miami, Monica V., if there was anything I could do to board at least close to the rest of my party, she parroted the party line that is was TSA’s fault and that there was nothing she could do. When I mentioned boarding after the A’s, she got that hostile look like I was just another low life trouble maker trying to cheat my way onto the plane before my turn. She stated that was ONLY for disabled passengers and my issue was not a Southwest problem. An even better solution is for Southwest to still issue you your boarding position number for your connecting flights and not remove TSA PRE from your connecting flight boarding pass. This is Southwest's problem, they just don't care as it will cost them money to fix their reservation system. ... View more

@DMayes12 I believe that if you are reapplying to a position that has the same job requisition (and have not waited the 1 year waiting period before you can reapply), the ATS will send you an error message to prevent applicants  applying.    My advice would be to reach out to the SWA employee you have already been in communication with and ask ifcan be done on their side of thr process  ...

Hey, @BreezeSchwenke!   Thanks for reaching out. I do see that you visited the Las Vegas Customer Service Agent - Part Time position on February 27, but we never received a complete application for you under that breezeschwenke@gmail.com email. So sorry for any confusion there! ... View more

Hey, @CEvans!   Thanks for reaching out!  We don't auto disqualify Candidates for having more than one application active at a time. 😊 You're welcome to submit your application to multiple positions at Southwest!    Your automatic denial was likely due to the answers submitted on your application questionnaire. For example, not living in a certain state required for the position, not meeting the minimum education/experience requirement, having interviewed for the same position within the last 6 months, etc.    As for your Flight Attendant application, we are still reviewing, interviewing, and hiring Candidates from the September posting! We'll keep you updated via email on any changes to your application's status!  ... View more

Hey, @Mont718!    Southwest doesn't currently have flight/trip minimums!    To add on to what @Passenger1C mentioned, we don't post for part time openings for the Flight Attendant position. Should you apply and be hired, that would be for a full time Flight Attendant. Southwest's schedule flexibility allows for you to pick up and drop trips - that's how you might be able to work more or less than a "typical" full time Employee! 😊   Thanks for asking!  ...

Wouldn't this cause for someone to get bumped if the flight is full? ... View more

This is another example of someone not doing their job.  If you are a mortgage broker, you should know better.   Just like in our neighborhood which is managed through an HOA.  We do not allow "for sale" or "for rent" signs, PERIOD!   I submitted a proposal that when we see these, we remove them and bill the homeowner a $1,000 removal fee and let them get reimbursed by the realtor who should have known better. ...

Hi PamG   Just do like everyone else does on Southwest.  Pretend you’re disabled and then get miraculously cured after boarding.   This is something that Southwest’s model of boarding promotes, so take advantage of it.   Jim                                    ... View more

Thanks for your response. Fair enough-I ensure that the questions are answered correctly. I check and my wife checks as well. Total of three checks. So idk at this point 🙂 ... View more

I completely agree.  It is still my responsibility to maintain communication with SWA and the airport authority to find out if I keyed something incorrectly or, if there were other issues I might not have been aware of so it doesn't delay my start date; the HR contractor I am working with was very helpful with this as well.   ...

It’s mentioned on most job postings if it’s remote. Many companies have made the decision to bring employees back onsite. I don’t work for SW, but I am assuming that’s the direction they are moving.  ... View more

If you have experience as a software engineer, I would suggest you apply to that. I don’t work for SW, but that makes the most sense based off of your question.  ... View more

@MGorajewski  “in process” is still a good thing for you. That means that even though the jobs have closed, you currently have not been disqualified. Once the jobs are closed, it still takes time for the recruiters to go through all the applicants. The process is very long, and it will take time until you hear something. Good luck to you!  ...
