Southwest Airlines video interview

Southwest Airlines video interview — verified fact

Southwest Flight Attendant candidates who meet qualifications begin being invited to a virtual one-way interview. Candidates selected after that step are invited to an in-person Dallas session that includes an information session, Q&A, and an individual panel interview. The same official FA page ties this lane to Southwest-specific readiness points: minimum age 20, valid passport, memorizing airport city codes and public announcements for training, four-week unpaid training, 13 Crew Bases assigned by operational needs and seniority, and trip-based new-hire pay after graduation. This video-interview fact is confirmed for the Flight Attendant flow only and should not be copied to Customer Service Agent, Ramp, Tech Ops, Corporate, or contract postings without a role-specific source.
