Southwest Assistant Dispatcher opening.

holy crap....not this again...The same thing happened with the bogus emails...they sent test invites to every single person that applied!!! The forum was lit up....then they send another emails saying "Disregard"....and then they scrubbed the whole thing and posted a new job req and emailed everyone telling us to apply again...This was in Dec 2014...Big Screw Up... But those that posted first the second time around, we all got testing invites....So if its the same syndrome....I would say stay close...

I remember that, I was early on it both times, but what was worse was people that didn't apply the first time getting invites when the new posting went up and they got invites before I did...

;Oh yeah...thats right....it was a total mess....a lot of upset folks...and it really showed how all this computer aided job filing crap is totally susceptible to crashing and burning!!! "sorry, we do appreciate your interest...we have decided to.pursue other candidates with zero qualifications...."

 

[Sapper]

I remember all that. Folks didn't know if they should reapply or not, and when they did reapply, didn't know how to answer the question of whether or not they had been invited for an interview in the last six months.

I heard some ppl got test dates already

 

[A320guy]

I am OK if no one has heard anything because i haven't and that means there is still a chance.

External Here....

Haven't heard anything yet but hoping for a test date soon or at least a call

 

[Chris6]

Some externals (at least) were given test dates on Tuesday

 

[CF34-3B1]

The test invites that went out on Tuesday were via email.

 

[WannaBeDX]

I'm hearing that people have received test dates as well. Good luck to all that received an invite.

To everyone else, I don't think it would be unheard of for them to do more test dates depending on how these guys do.

At any rate, Southwest is pretty good about sending TBNT emails and not leaving you hanging for too long. If you have not gotten one of those yet you're not totally out of it.

Never heard of them testing that many at one time.

 

[DispatcherSam]

I've never seen more than 10-15 at a time

 

[Troy McClure]

ditto-age....

For those of you guys that got invited to test...is the interview right after? Their latest email made it sound like it was.

One email said interviews would be conducted the week of the 24th. They need time to review our applications and test results.

Yeah, thats what I figured too. I guess when they say interview, they're meaning the testing part as well

 

[WannaBeDX]

Surely in face interviews have taken place. Anyone get the nod of approval?

 

[poppy926]

I know they had interviews as late as Wednesday.

 

[Rewind]

I got my TBNT email today. Good luck to those that got an invite.
