I don't think it's a spam email. SW just changed a major functionality of their employee page. It went live yesterday, and it is called Workday.    I wouldn't worry about the req#. In the end, it didn't matter for me. I never even knew my req# and didn't need it for anything, ever. I'm sure that's something for internal use only. As long as your dashboard is still active and doesn't say 'Closed Complete', you're good. 😊  ... View more

Looks like you did everything possible and more. Going forward when you do hear back, or re apply for PT post you have already proven the length you are willing to go to be respectful and responsible for a job you never had. 😆😉.    Good luck with pt search. I love Part Time jobs. Time enough to get be apart of a team, not enough time to get too involved.    ... View more

Was this your 1st interview ( phone interview) or your VI? I emailed my recruiter right after my not so great VI. She responded the next day helping me understand the  hiring process. Good luck. Keep watching your dashboard, your junk emails, and answering your phone to private numbers.      ... View more

I had my interview beginning of May and was offered CJO.  I’ve completed the drug/fingerprints within the same week.  I am awaiting the background screening to be complete.  Sterling sent me an email close to two weeks ago saying that my background was complete.  I’m guessing that SWA has to go through the background results as well.  Is this the process? @Yocity2022 wrote: Hello!

@Dillonm92 wrote: Good Evening Everybody:   I know in a previous post I mentioned about creating a training aid for airport codes, and I have the format down that I wanted to use, and wanted to share it with everybody and get feedback. This is being done in Excel, more so for me because I learn better with Excel, but everyone is welcome to use this when I am fully complete with it. As demonstrated in the attached photo, the City/States are in the left-hand column, with the column next to it for the airport codes. If the correct airport code is entered, the cell will automatically highlight green to signify the correct answer has been entered. Just sharing my progress so far, and I will add the full excel sheet to this thread when I am done with it. Thanks!    This is not exactly the same thing, but you might enjoy this online game:   https://airportle.scottscheapflights.com/   My main resource here is a wikipedia page listing all the codes by starting letter. You can also browse wikipedia articles about list of largest airports, or list of airports by category.      ... View more

I haven't read or heard of an instance where a start date was changed or revoked. Don't worry. It'll all work out.  ... View more

I am in the same situation.  Still under review.  I had my interview and CJO on 5/4/2022.  Patience is a virtue. ... View more

I don't think anyone here will have that info. Thats quite a specific question. I will say that internally, we may see things that the public does not. As for when postings are released, int v. ext, I have no idea.  ... View more

With my background check, someone at some point input my social incorrectly which made my check all wonky. SWA contacted me directly to ask if the information was correct. I'm going to assume if there are slight inconsistencies with yours someone would reach out. But I agree that you should reach out to Sterling to make any corrections needed. Good luck! ... View more
