Similar to everyone else. Arrived the day prior, stayed at a hotel and took the shuttle in at 0630. Met up with everyone else interviewing. Check-in began at 0730. Presentation started shortly after 8 and then everyone hung out in the waiting area as they called people in for each portion. Overall, great experience, really fun interview team out there and they aim to make it incredibly comfortable. Previous trip reports, SBQ info on here are spot on. On the SBQ, work through your decision...

Overall, very similar experience noted by everyone here. I stayed at a hotel and took the 0630 shuttle in. Everyone was real friendly and process starts with a company presentation and then onto the interview rounds. Logbook review and SBQ were one on one. Panel had 2 pilots and 1 HR rep. SBQ was a fuel contamination scenario as described in the sim portion here. HR panel was fairly standard and friendly. Asked TMAY, qualities of an FO, your qualities, and other HR type questions, (view the...

Exactly how it was on here. PM group, met in the lobby checked in then took a tour of the training facility. Came back for a 45 minute presentation on Southwest. Went into the holding room called back individually. I had SBQ, Logbook, HR. Everyone was really nice and inviting, they donâ??t give much feedback on how youâ??re doing. Great...

I recently completed my interview with Southwest, and I wanted to share my experience. Everything was exactly as described here on the site. We were gathered in a common lobby area, and I was placed in the second group. They started with a short tour of the facility, which was a great way to break the ice and see the environment. After that, we moved to the scenario portion, where they streamed the questions. In my scenario, I had fuel contamination in flight. The questions were very similar...

Was part of the morning group, arrived before 0730, scanned barcode given to us a few days prior, all gathered in the waiting room where we handed in logbooks, then walked to another room for the SWA introduction explaining company. From there went back to waiting area to get called separately for the 3 part interview, Panel, Logbooks, & SBQ. PANEL- pretty straight forward took maybe 15 minutes, no surprises everything in here was really helpful -TMAY, WHY SWA, TMAAT LOGBOOK- again...

Spot on from everyone else before. Very relaxed environment - I was in the AM group and 20 of the 23 people were there by 7am (interviews began at 8am, they requested we show up by 730am). They had us in a waiting area with some snacks and coffee and we put our bags and electronic devices away. Then we got a presentation on the current state of Southwest and how the interview process would go. We were told it's generally 2 weeks to hear back but given our proximity to the Holiday,  it...

Low threat, Tmay Tmaat difficult flight, difficult captain Logbook review, asked me a lot about my ppl endorsement which was weird( i lost my very original logbook just after my ppl. So was asking about my endorsements mentioned i could have had the FAA get me my 8710. Seemed silly. Since i already have my atp and received all my other endorsements through the military...

All of the interview info on here is accurate. The tour of the training facility is quite impressive. They really make you want to be a part of their team. As far as the actual interview goes the three parts are the logbook review, the SBQ, and the HR. The logbook review is really a non event if you follow their instructions for totaling your times and tabbing your milestones. The SBQ in my case was a passenger causing trouble in the back. They want to see your thought process and what...

Very positive experience. Talk to the other candidates in the morning. Everyone is nervous, it helps. My Logbook Review was first. Pretty straight forward. Make sure you keep track of times you have already submitted. He asked me for Total PIC time. It wasnâ??t on the logbook interview form, but he had the number I submitted on the laptop in front of him. Next was SBQ. I got the fuel imbalance that turned into a fuel leak. 100 miles NW of MDW. One interviewer in the room. He will run the...

Very calm interview environment. No surprises or gotchas. SBQ was straight forward, he painted our flight and the issue, and we got straight into how I would handle it. Logbook review is quick. And HR portion felt very relaxed and like a conversation. Just be yourself. Give yourself a few breathes before you answer. And joke with...
