There’s a lot to take pride in as an Employee at Southwest: our unprecedented 41 consecutive years of profitability, making FORTUNE’s Most Admired Companies list for 20 consecutive years, or ranking #12 on Glassdoor.com’s Top 50 Best Places to Work in 2013. Something I’m particularly proud of as Vice President of People is our hiring process. We’re frequently asked how we can maintain our unique (and awesome) Culture with more than 45,000 Employees and 96 cities, and my answer is simple—we hire for attitude and train for skill. This doesn’t mean we don’t consider skill sets when hiring, so don’t worry about that pilot on your next flight! What it means is we won’t ever hire just to fill a position. We’re looking for the right person to join our Southwest Family. Is that person you?
