Southwest Airlines Issues a Hiring Freeze

[Burrito]

Pauses Corporate Hiring and Noncontract Staff Hiring in an effort to cut cost

I see Corporate Hiring and think DX, though with it immediately followed by "Internships", I'm not too too sure.

While a quick glance doesn't have a SWA DX thread in one or two pages here, I'll say i wish all the best to those getting in down in Dallas. It may be ramps or airports, but "Hiring Freeze" generally sucks to read.

Good luck all.

From a dispatch perspective, this is mostly a non-story. There's something like 40 assistants waiting for an opportunity to upgrade. At best late 2025 would have been the early estimate to post for a new class dispatchers. This probably slides that back a bit but it's not like we're cancelling a hire class or anything
