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...

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.

The interview was an amazing experience. I was in the second group of the day at 11:00am. I stayed at one of the hotels they recommended and took the 9:30am shuttle over to headquarters. This turned out to be a good move, because several of us arrived early and were able to mingle and break some of the nerves off. They took our logbooks at the beginning and we went over to tour the LEADS training center. After the amazing tour we were brought back for the 3 part interview. Each took 15-30...

Had the morning group, started with a great presentation on the company so you can relax a little and get the nerves out, mingle with the other contestants. Everyone there is very qualified so be ready for that. But if youâ??re selected to interview that means you are also qualified. Then they send you back to the lobby and start calling people to interview. I had logbook review first, the interviewer said itâ??s not really part of the interview, itâ??s more about making sure youâ??re...

Overall, the experience is exactly how others described it. AM group and started with logbook review. It was super laid back and just read off times from the logbook review form that you come in with. They only asked me to tell them about myself, not the HR answer. They also asked if I had ever had an emergency and what I learned from it. Last was HR, and you get the typical tell me about yourself and why SWA. A new question I got was, "Tell me about a time you got feedback after a flight...
