Everything on here is correct, the material and peopleâ??s previous experience.  We started the interview with a company presentation and future goals, after we went to a waiting room where we were called one by one for three different interviews. HR panel, Log book and SBQ. The atmosphere is very relaxed they really want to get to know you but you donâ??t get any feed back. After everyone is interviewed they take you on a tour through the headquarters and the sim bay.  Amazing...

Check in at 7:30, interviews start at 9:00. They sit you down for a PowerPoint presentation and answer some questions before the interview starts. 3 part interview: Panel (HR and pilot), Logbook review (this can take time if you donâ??t come prepared so make sure you do the provided logbook sheet ahead of time and read it carefully), and a scenario based question. Was finished by 1:30. Everyone is very nice and it really feels like they want you to...

I stayed at a hotel and was gonna catch the 9:30 shuttle, but another person had an uber and invited me to join so 5 of us arrived around 9:30 an hour early. I checked in and got my name-tag and We chatted in the lobby as more people trickled in. We then put all our luggage into a closet and hopped onto the bus to tour the facility. Which is super impressive and an amazing experience. Once we returned we sat in a room for a presentation and asked questions. Great experience. Very diverse...

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...

The interview process was exactly as described on this page. I attended the morning session, which began with a presentation from a Southwest Airlines captain about the company. Everyone was very professional and friendly, and they did a great job helping ease any pressure. My day started with the logbook review, where I was asked why I chose Southwest and had some casual conversation about my flight background. Next was the scenario interview: I was given a DENâ??L.A. flight scenario where...

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...

Pretty solid gauge in all of these posts for how the day goes so I'll just include questions I was asked overall and my SBQ scenario. Overall great experience hoping to hear back in about 2 weeks as they said. Also some additional info from the presentation that i thought was useful: Hiring planned for 350+ just in Q1 2-026 maybe 700 total next year, they are now getting 2 Max 8s for each Max 7 on order so regardless of Max 7 certification the plan is to continue hiring, classes are...

The interview was pretty much exactly what's been described on here. Everything is very relaxed and the interviewers are very kind and try to put you at ease. I was in the AM group and showed up right around 7am. Waited a little bit for staff to arrive to get checked in. Turned in log books and then attended a quick brief from a SWA Captain giving updates on what's happening at the airline. Then we all went back to a holding area with chairs/coffee/water/snacks. Went through 3 different...
