Interview process is VERY competitive. In June 2025, over 75000 applicants were successful to apply for the position that was open for roughly one (1) hour, after crashing multiple times. It is a three step process: application, online video interview, invitation to Dallas for in-person interview.
Southwest was professional and selected great candidates from all over the USA. Not all will be hired, but are encouraged to apply again.
