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...

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... -

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... -

We started off the day by checking in at the Southwest Head Quarters. Once we received our visitor badges we had some time to meet and talk with other candidates. The first thing we did was turn in our logbooks and then we boarded a bus to tour the training facility. After doing the tour we sat for a brief about the company and all the benefits of working there. After that, we returned to head quarters and began the actual interview process. There was a panel interview that consisted of 1... -

We started off by hopping on a bus to the training center. They gave us a tour and answered all our questions. Then we came back and had a 45-60 minute presentation on pay, benefits, schedule, etc. Then the real fun starts. Logbook: This is very straightforward. I was asked a few simple questions about total times, PIC, and times over certain periods of time. I had everything tabbed and organized to make sure it was quick and painless. SBQ: Its just you and one other pilot. They will act as... -
