Thanks for the feedback, everyone. You've been great about letting us know that you'd like to board with your Companion Pass designee, and we're exploring options to see how we can make this a better experience. No updates on that as of now, but if/when we do have new information, we'll be sure to share it on the Community.

Hi @jfkern,
Thanks for the great feedback on Rapid Rewards promotions. We're always interested to hear what our Customers are thinking, and I'm sorry that it seems as if there has been a lack of promotions available to you. One suggestion I have is to make sure that you regularly log into your account and click through the promotions tab to make sure you're enrolled in anything current promotions we're running that you're eligible for. Also, if you aren't already, sign up for our Click 'n Save and In a Nutshell emails. I want to assure you that your patronage is valuable to us, and that we appreciate you taking time to speak up here in the discussion forum about how we can better serve you.

Hi @doomcontrol,
We do not sell Drink Coupon Books. We send Drink Coupons out after a Rapid Rewards Member has completed 10 flights, and occasionally our partners over at Chase Visa will send them out to surprise and delight our Customers.

Hi @Blackpashun,
I'm really sorry to hear about the trouble your aunt had with the Refer-a-Friend offer. I know that must be frustrating. If you want a Representative to take a look at your account and help with an individual promotion, it would be best to contact our Customer Relations Department on Twitter (@SouthwestAir). This is a Customer-to-Customer discussion forum, so unfortunately we don't have the power here to make adjustments to Rapid Rewards Accounts.

Hi @Jaxjaguars,
Our Hiring Team is hard at work processing the applications we've received.
Whether you have been selected to move forward in the hiring process or not, you will receive communication from us. Because we typically have a tremendous amount of interest in the Flight Attendant position, candidates may receive a follow-up email anywhere from a couple days to several months after submitting an application.

Hi @Zotsypotsy,
Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

Hi @LindseyD. My application status is "closed complete". I have not applied to be an FA before. Is this normal? I answered all of the questions correctly. Thank you!
Hi @ajoseph2345,
“Closed Complete,” “Received Submission,” and “Under Review” are all legitimate status updates on your iCIMS dashboard. Throughout the application process, these statuses are subject to change.

Hi Allison!
It's ok, I understand. At some point, every one of us here at Southwest Airlines was in your shoes, waiting for a confirmation email and hoping for a dream to come true.
Yes, everyone who submitted an application can expect to receive an email. There will be cases where the email server blocks the confirmation email because it thinks it is spam. But that doesn't mean we did not receive your application. And rest assured, if we have your application, we have your contact info.
If your dashboard says "received submission," your application has been successfully submitted. Best of luck to you!
