Have you tried turning your phone off then on? Turn airplane mode off then on? If others around you are connected, it’s your phone not the WiFi.

@Miichelle14 if your dashboard still reads as “submitted “, you still have an opportunity to be chosen for an interview. Practice patience, and keep in mind that this is a slow and long process. Good luck!

@Taylorm197 based off of business needs, SW hires at certain airports when there is a need. I would think that a transfer might apply to a current employee if the opportunity becomes available. Since you currently do not work for SW, your question regarding a transfer does not apply. You first need to work for SW, then I’m sure there is a waiting period before you can even request a transfer.

@Taylorm197 my understanding is that most training for SW is paid (not including Flight Attendants). I’m almost certain that the training takes place in Dallas. Did you see the position you are interested in posted on the career site? I would think that the posting would mention training?

Adding my personal opinion and experiences to what @SWDigits said, I always have the best service when I reach out to SWA on Twitter. My questions are answered and handled within minutes. Hope your issue was addressed and resolved @iosman

Congrats @Kellyyycassady! You will do great! Good luck during training, and I hope to see you on a future flight soon. Best wishes during your new career path with SWA.

@TheJules2019 for your safety and those around you, when seated at a bulkhead all carryons must be stored in a overhead bin during take offs and landings. However, during the flight, you can grab your bag from the overhead, and leave at your feet, etc.

@James94525 Becoming a flight attendant is harder than you think and one that thousands aim for. If you read other threads on the community, many have applied several times and are still trying to land a position.

@msdiva1159 it sounds like you have done everything correctly including signing up to be notified when jobs post. My recommendation is to practice patience, and remember that when the business needs justify adding a new position, the role will post. Good luck on finding your dream job with SWA.

@Fionnah the good news is if you were no longer being considered, your dashboard would read “closed/complete”. With that being said, I’m sure there is a lot of interest and the recruiters are still reviewing applications. Remember to practice patience, and hopefully you will hear something shortly. Good luck!

@KimVanderKley Is this the role you are inquiring about? It’s posted on the SW career site with everything a potential applicant needs to review. As for “shift work” I would imagine it’s the days and times you would work with your front line employees? https://careers.southwestair.com/job/29152/Customer-Service-Supervisor

Even my grandparents ( who are very special to me) have an easier time boarding SW because of the open seating. When my grandmother isn’t looking for 10C, and isn’t holding up the aisle, the mood is calmer. Instead of searching for 10C, she is grabbing the first 2 seats she finds, quickly sits down, and buckles her seatbelt. It’s a win for my grandparents, other passengers, and SW. Just another way to look at it. HaHa

Have you ever flown into LAX or LGA? You would be happy waiting only 30 minutes for your bags. Now when I fly, all my belongings either have to fit in my carry-on, or they are being left behind. Try simplifying when you fly. It will change your entire experience.

@DSteven I can relate to your frustrations. All of us who fly with SW are feeling it too. I would say that you are one of the lucky ones since you received the notification far in advance. I pulled this information off of SW’s Contract of Carriage: Flight Schedule Changes. Flight schedules are subject to change without notice, and the times shown on Carrier’s published schedules, Tickets, and advertising are not guaranteed. At times, without prior notice to Passengers, Carrier may need to substitute other aircraft and may change, add, or omit intermediate stops. Carrier cannot guarantee that Passengers will make connections to other flights by the Carrier or by other airlines. In the event of flight schedule changes or service withdrawals, Carrier will attempt to notify affected Passengers as early as possible. https://www.southwest.com/assets/pdfs/corporate-commitments/contract-of-carriage.pdf I know that SW is doing all they can to work out all the changes. Personally, I would rather be inconvenienced if my safety was possibly at risk. Have a a great trip in June!

@karolyn1975 relocation is the price you pay as a new flight attendant. I’m pretty sure that relocating is mentioned a few times during the initial application submission. My suggestion to you is, if staying in your area is priority then FA is probably not going to work out. Are there other roles you are interested in?
... View more
@Jataurra honestly with the number of candidates, I would say that no news is good news. Worse case scenario is if you do receive a message “closed & complete”, you reapply in a year. I have good feelings about your current status. Just keep up the positive attitude and remember why you applied for the position. It’s all about caring for people and providing service.
