Hi @Drea_18,   We are so thrilled that you are interested in a Career with us! As @RetLeo mentioned, the minimum age for this role is 20 years old. You can find all of the qualifications by clicking the "spoiler" tag on the first page of this post. If you meet those qualifications, we would love to see your application the next time this role is available!   If you do not yet meet those qualifications, you can check out some of the roles that we currently have available on southwest.com/careers. A great opportunity could be in one of our front-line roles (Customer Service Agent, Ramp Agent, Operations Agent, or Customer Support Representative), which all have a minimum age requirement of 18 years old. For inspiration, you can check out this video of a fellow aviation lover who started as a Ramp Agent following his high school graduation! Best of luck in your Career!     ... View more

Hi @cadibble,   Thanks for your interest in becoming a Flight Attendant with us! Although we do not have a specific timeline established for the next opening of this role, due to the overwhelming response to the last Flight Attendant posting in February we do not expect the next posting to be for a while. This gives our Recruiters time to sort through the many applications we have already received. In the meantime, you can check out all of the positions we do have available at southwest.com/careers. We hope to see your application next time the Flight Attendant role is available!   ... View more

​​​​​​Hi @jamesdafinest,   Thanks for your interest in our ELDP program! Here are some answers for you: The program is open to anyone authorized to work in the United States. We do offer a few different options for those relocating. More information for that would be available during the process.  We do attempt to keep people in the same location for the entire 18 months. However, depending on operational needs, participants can be required to move one time during the program (i.e. 6 months spent in one city and 12 in another). Program Participants will know their cities and dates prior to starting so they can make appropriate housing arrangements. Where full-time positions are not guaranteed to Internship participants, our participants are full-time Southwest Airlines Employees from day one and are placed in a Leadership role throughout the Organization upon completion of the program. ELDP is a fast track Leadership Development Program for individuals interested in front-line airline Leadership, whereas most Internships are concentrated in our Corporate Career opportunities.  We hope to see your application the next time the ELDP opportunity is posted!   ...
