When do you guys think we will start hearing back from Southwest regarding our applications?

I feel like working a job like this takes a very specific type of individual that one does not normally come across in every everyday life.

I am a 27F single in Texas and I have made it to the next step where it’s time for me to schedule a date to go into the testing center and take the assessment. Which isn’t really a flex. I feel like the overwhelming majority of people make it to that step.

I just wonder how am I supposed to know if this is for me? How do I know if I could even do something like this? I watch videos online and even listening to them talk and knowing that every single decision you make affects hundreds of lives, how does one operate in a job like that?

I’m going to go as far as I can in the process and if I somehow make it to training (I would be surprised honestly, I was not great in school), I’m going to give it my all. Maybe I’m built for it. Maybe I’m not. I originally wanted it to be a flight attendant and that’s what I was looking forward to this fall, but I don’t know which job would be better.

How did you get used to the schedules? That is probably the worst of it all, constantly working different shifts. Do you regret going into this field?
