Speaking of Southwest - July 2019 Hiring

[FlyingSioux1]

Maybe they'll actually look at my application this time lol.

At least they tell you that they didn't even look... Compared to being left in limbo for months.

 

[Airliner]

Just got an email that the posting will go up Monday.

Be ready for SWA opening

 

[Airliner]

Confirmed it will be open soon

 

[Burrito]

Posting is up.

I know there's a lot of newly licensed folks on here, or just experienced DXers all the same...probably wondering why I said anything.

Ideally I would want my future co-workers or friends to watch out for our success.

Good luck to all who apply.

Have they posted? I've been constantly checking for the last few days, but have not seen anything yet. My dream job!

Yup they did. Better get that app in.

 

[Shock-Diamonds]

Hmmmm. Yet nobody has posted a link, and it's not on their website?

This might be a silly question, but, are SWA assistant dispatchers in CASS? And what's the typical training schedule like? M-F?

App is in!

Yes Asst Dispatchers are in CASS. Classroom is Mon-Fri for the first 5 weeks but once you hit the floor its the 6-3-6-3-6-6 until you upgrade then its reserve schedule which is anyone guess, no inconstancy.

 

[Shock-Diamonds]

Thanks! I kept looking under Flight Ops.

 

[CF34-3B1]

Not all assistants have the 6/3/6/3/6/6 rotation in training because the 20% reserve thing applies to assistants as well.

Does anyone know the class size of this next round of Asst. Dispatchers?

 

[CF34-3B1]

It sounds like they might bring on an additional 60 but assign 3 different class dates of 20 spread out over next year

 

[jetstream7104]

Yep...last I heard the plan is for 20 again.

Could anyone confirm the Southwest process for establishing seniority with new hire classes? I thought I read on another thread that internals are first according to company seniority, followed by externals according to age, youngest to oldest. Is this still accurate?

Yes, can confirm. Although its oldest to youngest. Also, we have feats of strength. And then air our grievances. After that a master assistant dispatcher is chosen to lead the group or die trying. There can be only one.

I thought you had to be brought into the union before you get to participate in Festivus.
