I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines in May 2016
Interview
I applied online in April 2015. I didn't get a reply until April of 2016 asking if I was still interested in the position as things could have changed since my initial application. I emailed back saying yes. Received a phone call on May 23rd to set up a phone interview which went to my voicemail. Called back next day and set up the interview for May 25th at 11am. The call came at 11am and like the other phone interviews consisted of yes and no questions about the position/pay/training/relocating with a few behavioral type questions and it lasted for about 25min. When we were done I was told would hear back within 2 weeks either way. As of today June 18th still have not heard back. Anybody else experience a wait of more than 2 weeks??

So far, it has been moving at a great pace. I have only completed my on demand interview, and I am scheduled to attend my face to face in the near future! The online interview was great - be yourself, smile, and use the uninterrupted time to really express yourself! I'm very grateful for this opportunity and best of luck to all those applying!
