SWA Assistant Dispatcher Posting

[nyk]

Do they provide transportation to the facilities from the airport? Do they fly you out there ?

 

[Luigi]

When they put the posting up last time and hired all internal, did they still invite people out for testing?

 

[pljenkins]

If I am fortunate to get that email
is studying the green book a good way. How many questions on the test and how should you dress

It's one way. Bone up on navigation charts, weather, regs, the usual gouge.

Dress as you would dress for an interview.

Yes and yes.

I don't think the last one was posted externally at all. Prior to that, 7 of the 9 selectees were external.

 

[Luigi]

Yes and yes.

Thanks for the information!

It did get posted externally. But yea, just typical HR BS requirements. No externals got invited.

Is the test done on a computer or what?

Or what.

Old school, baby!

 

[Luigi]

Any chance for a multiple choice?

 

[pljenkins]

I believe I recall some multiple guess on there.

Just curious how far is the facility
from Dallas Fort airport and Love Field

It is on the south side of Love Field. along Denton Dr.

OK...well, I'm going to have to try to get someone to work for me and that may be hard to do, which sucks. Hopefully I can do it.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

Friend of mine got a call for the written test

Missing out on this because you couldn't find someone to cover your shift will make you a very sad panda.

Two words. Sick call.

Two words. Sick call.

If you go that route, make it a low-key sick call, not telling anyone at all you work with where you are going (including close friends), don't post about it online, and for God's sake don't mention to anyone at Southwest that you called in sick to come for the interview. I realize all this should be obvious, but I have known fairly smart people that violated all of those rules (told co-workers they were calling in sick to go for an interview/posted it on Facebook/mentioned it during their interview with their prospective new employer.)

Did anyone without an ADX get an invite?

Dress like it is an interview. Someone is always watching.

Jenkins, sir, so do you mean nav charts like the ones nobody carries anymore?? Are you guys all EFB'd ?

Also, on a older thread someone posted some WN gouge and they wrote that on the test there was this metar symbol: BINOVC and they didn't know what it was. Is that a typo or am I still a greenhorn? Cuz I looked H and L and could not find the BIN portion...
Anybody care to explain?

 

[Flagship_dxer]

BINOVC means breaks in the overcast.
