Congratulations, @London87! Like @Dedezoe97 said, checking with your recruiter is the best course of action for now. I don't have any concrete information yet, but we're committed to conducting our training and onboarding in a safe and COVID-conscious manner, it's top of mind for us. Thanks for your patience while we await that information!  ... View more

Hey Jose, we're glad to hear you're excited! Yes, the background check and SIDA application can take a few weeks, generally between 4 and 6 weeks. In this case, no news is good news! We can't wait for you to start!  ... View more

Hey @Zhaneb1! Congratulations, it's great to hear you'll be joining the SWA family soon! I hope you're feeling okay after recovering from COVID. As long as you have at least one dose of the COVID 19 vaccine, you should be okay to get a start date. Feel free to reach out to your recruiter too, they know the ins and outs of the policy.  ...

Hi @ccamp1123. Good question! 3-4 weeks is a pretty normal turnaround time on the USPS background check right now, so I wouldn't worry. If you haven't heard by next week, either let me know here or shoot over an email to your recruiter. Thanks for your patience!  ... View more

Thanks for your interest! I just checked your application, and it's still in our queue to be reviewed. Sorry for the delay! We're fortunate to receive a significant number of applications, and it just takes a while to get to all of them. I don't have an estimate on when you'll hear more, but we'll contact you once we've reviewed your application. Thanks for your patience!   ... View more

Good question! While we do work to shorten the turnaround time, a three-week wait on the background check from USPS is unfortunately not uncommon. Thank you for your patience! ... View more

Hi Tonyover1! I just reached out to my coheart Kassady, a Coordinator who focuses on hiring Flight Attendants and she's going to double-check those forms for you. If there's anything that needs to be re-done, she's going to send them to you again today. But if you don't hear anything, that means they were submitted correctly the first time. Thanks for checking on this, and congratulations! We're looking forward to welcoming you onboard! ... View more

Hi Melina. I'm sorry to hear this! It looks like we did not receive your response to that form which was sent out back in October. Unfortunately, that form was not completed within the prescribed window, so we're unable to continue with next steps. While I know this is disappointing, we hope you'll consider applying again in the future.  ... View more

Thanks for reaching out, and your interest! We received many thousands of applications for the Flight Attendant position, and we review the submissions in the order they were received. So even if another applicant applied only a few minutes before you did, there could be hundreds or thousands of applicants between you and them. We'd love to get to everyone faster, and our Recruiters are doing their utmost to interview as many Candidates as possible. Please know we'll let you know via email when we're ready with the next steps, but I apologize for any anxiety or worry this has caused! Good luck with your application!  ... View more

Hi there. It looks like you are in consideration for the St. Louis Ramp Supervisor role, but our Recruiter was unable to contact you in regards to the Houston one. Good luck! ... View more

Sorry to be slow getting back to you! Training's a mix of virtual and in person, you do some classroom work virtually, but once that's done you go out to the airport you'll be working at and get your hands-on training done! We're not flying people to Dallas right now since most of the folks who work at Headquarters are working from home.    Congratulations on the offer, I'm glad the interview went well! ... View more

Hey @Zmtaylor0301 , I'm sorry to hear that! I reached out to one of the Recruiting Coordinators who is working on this job posting to see what the next best steps are. Kassady's going to reach out to you and make sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted. I hope that helps!  ... View more

Hi hinojot1! I reached out to some of the recruiters who work with our AMT apprenticeship program to see if they had any suggestions. Kelly White, who oversees the program and does interviews for it, said he'd be happy to chat about tips and tricks if you want to send him an email (kelly.white2@wnco.com). Good luck! ... View more

Hi @Joeytrr25. We do most of our interviews on the phone or over Microsoft Teams right now. Our Recruiters are still working from home, and we've found that the virtual hiring process to be quite effective! I hope you're still able to take the interview, and best of luck if you do! ... View more

Thanks for the kind words, Jeremy! We truly appreciate them. Good luck on the job search, my fingers are crossed for you!  ... View more

Hi evenatycar. I'm sorry to hear that! It looks like Tina, one of our Coordinators, emailed you earlier today (December 6) to schedule the fingerprint appointment. Thanks so much for your patience! ... View more

Hi Althea! We don't have any specific programs in place right now, but you'd want to make sure you have the authorization to work in the United States, and then keep an eye on the career site for a job at whatever station you'd like to move to so you can submit an application. In the meantime, I suggest setting up an appointment with Career Mobility. They'd be happy to talk through the transition process with you and give you some pointers. To set that up, log into SWALife, then hover over Life & Career and click on Career Main. Once there, hover over Internal Careers and click on Career Mobility. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see an option to schedule a meeting. Good luck!  ... View more

Good question! "Under review" means we've opened the application and are considering it for employment. "In process" means that the application has been submitted, but we have not yet read the application. ... View more

Hey Micheal, thanks for checking in! I just spoke with Krystal, one of our Recruiting Coordinators about your application. Her goal is to reach out to you by Wednesday, but with the Thanksgiving holiday, it might not be until Monday. Thanks for your patience! ... View more

Hi there! I just checked your status on our site, and we show that you're still in consideration. Any chance the withdraw you're seeing is related to clicking the option to withdraw yourself from consideration?  ... View more
