Was the morning group. Started off the briefing about the company, very laid back and then we all hung out at the hiring break room near the entrance. Everyone does 3 events, SBQ, HR, Logbook review. And not in any specific order. After that we did a tour of the LEAD building which is their training facility. WOW!!! Question asked for all events were a lot of the same that are on here. Be humble and yourself. Enjoy and good luck to...

Was a great day. Take it all in, be humble, be yourself. Logbook Straight forward as long as your times are correct. Read times off the Logbook review sheet and a few standard questions they ask everyone. Then chatted for about 5 mins SBQ Fuel contamination DENâ??LAX flight. LAS was the closest but +TS, PHX was about five minutes farther 200 and 1/2, and ONT was significantly farther at around 50 minutes. Went through that, then chatted for about 15 minutes HR questions, (view the study...

They really try hard to make you feel welcome at Southwest. It's a crap shoot what portion of the interview process you do first (SBQ, HR, or Logbook review). For me, it was the SBQ. I got fuel contamination in flight (no other indications), elected to divert to a closer airfield. Weather was not a factor but winds started gusting just prior to landing (still within limits though). I said I would continue the approach while monitoring winds down final. He had very few questions and scenario...

They really try hard from the start to make you feel welcome at Southwest. I was in the AM group and started off with the SBQ. Next, I did the HR panel. I got some tough questions on this oneâ?¦(view the study guide of this website).  I wrapped up the interview with the logbook review. Like others have said, very low threat. Just have the logbook review form filled out prior and be ready for TMAY, why Southwest, etcâ?¦laid back questions. After the interview portions our group...

AM group goes on your after and then a bus to the...

The interview was an amazing experience. I was in the second group of the day at 11:00am. I stayed at one of the hotels they recommended and took the 9:30am shuttle over to headquarters. This turned out to be a good move, because several of us arrived early and were able to mingle and break some of the nerves off. They took our logbooks at the beginning and we went over to tour the LEADS training center. After the amazing tour we were brought back for the 3 part interview. Each took 15-30...
