They have classed it up. We had the wild turkey old class/new class welcome in the hotel bar and on top of that the next day a fornal dinner in the Frontiers of Flight museum which was a pretty cool setup. That was november 2015. Dont know if thats still going on. It made the first week even more exhausting...

I was just wondering why is SWA doing a credit check this late in the game. What are they looking for, I have had to take in some extra debt lately and my credit is not stellar but not that poor. Is this a jeopardy thing or just a verification of other information. I have already put my notice in at my current job and start class very soon so it's got me worried. I might be being a little irrational right now but at this point my &@?!* ar swinging in the wind

They will continue to do background checks on whatever they have left to do up until checkride day.

It appears to be another vendor SWA uses to streamline their on-boarding process. I just filled it out myself and never got the impression it was being used as a credit checking mechanism nor did it indicate that on any of the paperwork. See you in class! Congrats!

If you drive, take care where you park. A few newhires had vehicles broken into in their lot.

for the people who have interviewed recently, what is the typical time frame of hearing if your references have been called or getting the call for a drug test before the db

Internal references were contacted within a few days. Got called for the drug test the following week. Also got the email about providing current employers W-2s and pay stubs around a week later.
