I interviewed on 6 Jan at 1200. Breakdown for my group of 6; 5 military (4 USAF, 1 USMC) 1 civilian regional Capt. Myself and one of the AF bubbas had a 737 type rating, the other 4 did not. Job fair question didn't come up, but I did not attend one. That said, if you can fit it into your schedule I would run, not walk, to one.
The other common denominator among the military guys was that a majority of us had instructor pilot tours.
No job offer yet, but heard from 5 of my references yesterday that they had been called by domicile chief pilots wanting to know about me. Good luck to everyone!

FWIW, COD and I have very similar backgrounds; 3700hrs TT, 1300ME TPIC, 2200 Mil IP. Retired in 2012 and went to work for NG Corp on UAVs (good money, but about as much fun as being poked in the eye with a sharp stick). Decided I wanted to return to flying and SWA was my first choice. Got the type rating Mar 14 and invited to interview May 14, but I was OCONUS for work and couldn't make it. I was flying GA to maintain instrument currency (70 hrs a yr) and my 12/24 month totals reflected that. No one was calling. Decided to take a job with L3 flying KA/MC-12s, put 200hrs in my log book by 5 Dec and got the "interview invite" email 18 Dec for a 6 Jan interview. Haven't seen a TBNT email, and my refs were called yesterday, so I am guardedly optimistic for a job offer. Good luck!

Actually we do fly daily from PNS to BNA and HOU, which is of course a base. There must have been another reason because nobody has a base in PNS so every airline would have required at least 1 leg for a commute. Very good idea on your part, you will be good to go quickly unless you moved to MCO or ATL.
I live out west so should be able to be based at home by later this year hopefully. Looking forward to leaving DAL soon and getting back home!
