I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied Online March 30th and received a reply from a recruiter on April 6th. He forwarded a form that has you account for 10 years of employment, unemployment, whatever the case may be. But all 10 years have to be accounted for. It's primarily for the Federal background check. A hint is that if it comes up in your taxes of who paid you, you have to list it, even though it might just be for a month or years. Once he received it, he looked it over and requested certain items be refined to be completely accurate. I had a few opportunities to make sure it was complete. After that, I was interviewed for about 15 mins. Very casual conversation. Just be yourself and don't stress. After that, he said he didn't have to think about it that he was going to push me through for my F2F interview which is for the next day. So, we'll see how it turns out from here.
I applied online. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
The interview was a very casual meet and greet. Several HR employees were sitting at different tables casually asking questions to potential candidates. If the HR Rep was interested, he had you speak to another one of his colleagues. From that point, if they both gave you the thumbs up, you were drug tested and finger-printed on the spot. A job offer came within ten days of that first and only interview.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Denver, CO) in Jun 2023
Interview
I had attended a hiring event and it was great, Southwest seems to be a great company. It took hours though, so if you plan on attending a hiring event held by Southwest, I'd plan a good 5 hours to be there. Show up dressed good, prepared for an interview. Take your resume.
