Does that correspond with the rumored new hire freeze until Q2 of 2015?

Southwest hiring info

They were in attendance at OBAP this week in Atlanta. Hopefully someone who was there will be able to share what their future hiring plans were.

Yeah, you guys are probably correct.....unfortunately. Otoh, I keep hearing the rumor of approximately 500 upgrades for next year. Of course you know how much that's worth. Besides, where are the new airplanes to support that kind of number anyway?

I was told at OBAP this morning that hiring is over until 2015. They had no schedule ironed out for planned 2015 hiring. They were being pretty vague about it.

Was told 2 nh classes in August and 2 in October. This is to staff more used 73s than previously announced. What are you recently hired guys hearing? Anybody get an August or sept class?

Thanks

Interesting.. Sept 3rd class here. If there are 2 classes in October, when did/will they interview? It was my understanding that my group was the last to interview to date. Haven't been aware of any new application windows since April.

I hear ya. That info was from a cp, but you are correct re interviews. Are you the last class or did they tell you one in October?

Not sure if I'm the last class or not. When the CP called a couple weeks ago, he wasn't certain of exact class dates but gave an estimate of my class between Aug and Oct.
