I was in the morning group. Due to the construction near the hotel it was suggested to plan for 20 minutes ride to HQ/Training Center. I left along with 2 other candidates on the 6:30am shuttle. Arrive around 7 am. Checked in with the security window and received the name tag. We all gathered in the holding area made introductions as others arrived and had coffee and snacks. As others have noted they gathered logbooks on arrival. MAKE SURE you have your ATP, Medical, Radio Telephone Operators Permit with you. There were a couple of guys that had to come out of the interview to go across the hall to the closet where our bags were stowed to retrieve these items. Several...

interview wasnâ??t too bad. If you looked at AviationInterviews and their study guide on there it was exactly like that. Got there at 10:30, started a tour from about 11-12:30. Listened to their speech about why you should come to SW. finished that about 1:15. Then got into the lobby again and then they started calling us in randomly for an SBQ, HR panel (2 people), and logbook review. SBQ: super simple, (view the study guide of this website). HR: lot of TMAAT, TMAY. logbook: super... -

Southwest Airlines FO Interview Experience in April. Overall, the experience was exactly as many have described very relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable. From the moment you arrive on campus, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. You can tell people truly enjoy working there. The day started with the tour and an initial briefing, which aligned with what has been previously shared by others. After that, we were taken to the waiting area to begin the interview... -

Why Southwest, TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this website). Very intimate panel interview, the pilot and HR rep were very friendly, warm and welcoming. Logbook- pretty straight forward: failed checkrides, when can you start, read off your flight times from your logbook to ensure they match your logbook sheet. Then SBQ, (view the Sim/Scenario section in the study guide of this website). All in all great experience, definitely more conversational than any set questions.... -

Then Scenario, (view the Sim/Scenario section in the study guide of this website). HR Portion--very relaxed and conversational. Read the study guide. One question threw me a little bit but other than that it was straightforward. Very incredible interview... -

Three part interview logbook review, panel interview, SBQ they call you back one at a time and will randomly give you one of the three parts. The panel interview is with HR and a pilot, tell me about a time when questions mostly. Logbook review is straightforward. SBQ isnâ??t bad they just want to see your thinking process and ADM, I was given cracked window as captain pilot flying. Everyone was super... -

It was a great interview experience. Everyone is very friendly and easy to talk to throughout the whole day. If staying at the hotel as recommended by SW in your invite. I would highly recommended taking the 6:30 am shuttle to arrive before 7:30. The 6:30 was basically full. I have also heard people not being able to make the 7:00am shuttle due to it being full. Overall experience was good. Three different steps in this process as told in other reviews. Only funny thing was the situation... -

Excellent interview experience. PM group, we started by handing over logbooks and some other documents, then continued with a tour of their fantastic facilities. Then we moved into the interview waiting area where we were individually called randomly for each of the three interviews (Panel, SBQ, and Logbook review). Everyone was positive and friendly, no tricks or surprises. Best advice is to be yourself and to mingle and chat with your fellow... -

My interview was as described by others. Went in with the "afternoon" B group, show time was 1030 local (remember you're going to be operating on central time when you get there. Word of advice, eat a decent breakfast before you go over. They do provide coffee, water, and snacks, but this isn't going to constitute a whole meal and the process will easily go through lunch. Plan accordingly. We started off with a tour of the LEADS center. It's an amazing facility and far larger than any Flight... -

I did the logbook portion first. It was very straight forward, just going through the totals on the logbook form you had to fill out. They asked about my employment references sheet and any previous checkride failures. He also asked about why I wanted to come to Southwest. Next I did the SBQ. (view the Study guide of this website, including the Sim/Scenario section). He also asked me a couple get to know me questions. I finished with the HR panel. It was one pilot and one person...
