I was hired in 2017, and the average age in my class was 38. The youngest guy was 32 and the oldest 56. Average TT was 7000 hrs. Other then the mil guys, ALL 121/135/91 folks had been check airman, chief pilots, director of ops, safety officers, etc etc. All had a 4 yr degree. Most had thousands of hours PIC turbine.

That may be changing, but the outlyers probably amount to a handful of new hires a year. Age is not a factor, all age groups are represented.

This is the #1 discriminator today at all of the airlines.

Carbon copy of my class in 2015, except all but six had the type.

Never hurts to apply even without the tpic. Most people that lack in one area make up for it something else. Southwest likes diverse backgrounds.

For bidding off, hopefully they'll start sending invites soon. Don't suppose anyone has heard anything yet?

Edit: Looking back, the June 16 Expo didn't send out invites until May 18, so maybe we have a little while.

I believe previous Expo events have included 400 invitees. Not certain if this one will be the same number or not though.

Nope. Nothing special.
