Was the morning group. Started off the briefing about the company, very laid back and then we all hung out at the hiring break room near the entrance. Everyone does 3 events, SBQ, HR, Logbook review. And not in any specific order. After that we did a tour of the LEAD building which is their training facility. WOW!!! Question asked for all events were a lot of the same that are on here. Be humble and yourself. Enjoy and good luck to...

My Southwest interview experience was very positive overall. The afternoon group started with a tour of the LEADs training center, which was impressive and a great way to kick things off. The rest of the interview process aligned with whatâ??s been shared in previous posts. The employees were exceptionally kind and made what is naturally a long day feel welcoming and well-organized. Candidate backgrounds seemed to vary widely, but everyone brought strong, unique experience to the table....

Great time, much like everyone else has mentioned on here. No new surprises for me at least. HR panel , 2 pilots , hr rep. SBQ with one pilot, and logbook review with another pilot. Very welcoming and relaxed there. Enjoy yourself, be honest, and be humble. And youâ??ll either get a tour after this or before depending on what time you have picked for your interview. Question bank on here was pretty much what was asked from many in my group as well as...

Took the 0630 van to the interview, was told they go to the airport first then training center and arrived super early. Chatted with all the applicants until they took us all into a waiting room with lounge chairs, food and drinks to collect logbooks. I was in the AM group and we received about a 30-45 min briefing from one of the SW pilots and he went over pay, QOL, retirements, fleet plans etc. One thing you will notice is everyone is super friendly, like everyone either smiled or said...

(view the study guide of this website).  Then SBQ.  Logbook review was quick with pretty standard...

Was a great day. Take it all in, be humble, be yourself. Logbook Straight forward as long as your times are correct. Read times off the Logbook review sheet and a few standard questions they ask everyone. Then chatted for about 5 mins SBQ Fuel contamination DENâ??LAX flight. LAS was the closest but +TS, PHX was about five minutes farther 200 and 1/2, and ONT was significantly farther at around 50 minutes. Went through that, then chatted for about 15 minutes HR questions, (view the study...

They really try hard to make you feel welcome at Southwest. It's a crap shoot what portion of the interview process you do first (SBQ, HR, or Logbook review). For me, it was the SBQ. I got fuel contamination in flight (no other indications), elected to divert to a closer airfield. Weather was not a factor but winds started gusting just prior to landing (still within limits though). I said I would continue the approach while monitoring winds down final. He had very few questions and scenario...

They really try hard from the start to make you feel welcome at Southwest. I was in the AM group and started off with the SBQ. Next, I did the HR panel. I got some tough questions on this oneâ?¦(view the study guide of this website).  I wrapped up the interview with the logbook review. Like others have said, very low threat. Just have the logbook review form filled out prior and be ready for TMAY, why Southwest, etcâ?¦laid back questions. After the interview portions our group...

Got in night prior for AM group. Aloft where many of the interviewers stayed. Bus over at 7:00am. Lots of waiting around. Not many HR questions, very conversational based. (view the study guide of this website).  SBQ was straight forward, make a decision and stick to it (nothing will go perfect). Debrief after. Logbook was very straight forward simple yes/no questions. AM group goes on your after and then a bus to the...

Interviewing with Southwest Airlines was a terrific experience. Panel Interview: Tell us about yourself in 1 minute. Tell us about your flying experience (Questions about specific jobs from my Resume). Some questions specific to my situation. Tell me about a time you had an emergency. You are on a 3 day trip and getting along really well with the captain. On day 2 you go to dinner together and have a drink. You head back to the hotel and captain stays for a drink. Next morning on go home day...
