Great overall, very friendly. The interview is all-day, so you don’t have to come back for different rounds. Be as prepped as you can with your logbook, and follow their directions exactly for what to tab out and highlight.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Southwest? What makes Southwest unique?
Logbook interview, SBQ, and HR Panel. Interviewers were very professional and friendly. Logbook portion was quick if your logbook was in order and my SBQ interview basically revolved around an emergency that you needed to deal with.
