What I need is a new flight case. Need something that fits well in the 737, fits my EFB and pilot kit + some snacks and not to big to commute with. What do y'all like?

Luggage works makes a nice square bag that fits the iPad, headset, and a bunch of other stuff. Sits nicely next to your seat. They sell them in the training center with SWA embroidered in the front. I think it's about $80, which they will payroll deduct in installments.

If you can wait until you start training, the company uniform store sells

If you can wait until you start training, the company uniform store sells two different sizes of the LW bags that fit the LW roll aboard bags and they can also be payroll deducted. I have the larger one and it fits in both the classic and NG. Other guys use other bags but I'll let them comment on them.

The day after the interview I filled out a form with 10-year work/residence/education/volunteer info. I listed Personal references as well.

No. Nobody cares what color your luggage is.

How do I kill the interview, get all refs called within 3 days, get background check done... With "passed" on all sections... Then TBNT email? ***?

Hard to know if one killed the interview. You know how you felt but not what their impression was. Just sayin'.
Curious how you know details such as the status of each section of background checks?
That sucks to get the TBNT. Keep your chin up.

Most dudes I know did NOT feel like they "killed" the interview. In fact, the majority walked away from the interview feeling like they lacked polish.
I think this is the crux of the prep argument. You don't want to nail every question or scenario. You need to look like a human being to the interview team.
