The interview is 3 phases: a logbook audit and review, a scenario based question, and an HR interview with TMAAT questions. After all that you get a tour of the campus and just hang out. Overall itâ??s very relaxed, as relaxed as an interview could be at least. I was in the am block of interviews. First thing you do is group all your paperwork and logbooks together and hand them over. Then itâ??s just waiting for your name to be called. In the logbook review, they want to see and talk...

I booked the suggested hotel they emailed us later and they did actually have a shuttle going to the training center. The shuttle at the end of the day will take you to the airport on each hour (generally). I did the best I could with my military logbook, I ended up putting everything into excel and bringing all source documents in a neat and organized 3 ring binder. I had zero questions about it. For the panel I had TMAY, it felt like the only question: me and the military interviewer just...

As others have stated: the interview was fairly laid back. I was in the morning group. We were ushered into a room where we were given a brief on the activities of the day; we turned in our logbooks and other documents for review at this point. We were then escorted into a large lecture hall and given a video/powerpoint presentation about the company. Once that was completed, we all gathered in a side room and were one-by-one selected for each of the 3 interview segments. Each portion lasted...

The interview was very similar to the gouge. Study SBQ portion, it was exact to a tee. They want to see how you think as a pilot. They wonâ??t tell you if youâ??re right or wrong, but want to see your critical thinking skills in a non normal / emergency...

Very straight forward just like stated. Had about 48 in my group (afternoon). Got a nice tour of facilities, and the sim bay was amazing! Got back had a presentation by a senior captain and then started the interview process. I got HR first, (view the study guide of this website).  TMAY, and some small talk, felt very cordial. Next was logbook and just went down the list of numbers previously submitted.  Had logbooks very organized and tabbed and got complimented on that. Next SBR,...

The interview was very relaxed and conversational. The focus was almost entirely on behavioral questions and culture fit rather than technical aviation knowledge. Then Questions, (view the study guide of this website, including the Sim/Scenario section).  included: The interviewers asked follow-up questions to better understand my role and thought process in each situation. I recommend having several well-prepared STAR stories that highlight teamwork, leadership, adaptability, and...

The Interview went exactly as everyone else has described on this site. AM group, about 30 of us from all areas of aviation. Many regionals, some Others. Military, cargo and even a few 135. Arrived at the headquarters around 0650, people were already there and many others filtered in after. Mingled in the main lobby area until we were brought into the interview waiting area and was given a quick welcome intro and discussion about how the day was going to work. We then dropped off all the...

My interviewing class was about 40 candidates with about another 40 candidates in the class later that morning. For about 30mins the pilots are socializing in the lobby. A member of SWA brought us into an adjacent room and gave us some information about the day, information if we get hired and if we don't get hired. If you get hired you'll received a call back from a chief pilot, and there will be additonal information you'll provide to SWA. If you don't get hired you'll get an email. A...

I had PM group. You begin with the tour of the facilities, which was great and helped us relax a bit. After that, we began the 3 parts of the interview: HR, logbook review and scenario-based. This will happen in any order. Have some good stories (and what you learned) and a good answer to TMAY, why SWA. I spent weeks before the interview to get my logbooks together and was glad I did because they had no questions about it. SBQ was relaxed, show good CRM and don't rush answers. Some...
