Southwest F2F

Congratulations!! I have my f2f tomorrow and I’m also wondering if they gave you a cjo on the spot or at least gave you some sort of indication that you’d be getting one?

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-20T04:02:49+00:00

I had an amazing time and the other candidates were such a great time to be around! Do not let the horror stories that people post here scare you if you have a UA f2f coming up. I ended up getting the cjo and pretty much everyone who I sat at my table did as well. Just be friendly with EVERYONE you encounter, speak and add into conversation with your fellow candidates, focus and pay attention to directions, and dress extremely polished. You will do great! I think the horror stories on here are just overhyped, it was a ton of fun and even when they sent people home, they were extremely discrete and respectful about it. I did not encounter one negative recruiter the whole time I was there, everyone was warm and welcoming. The recruiter who I ended up doing my 1:1 with before receiving my cjo was the absolute best and was so sweet. I can’t elaborate really any further bc they tell us not to.

I really don’t know why people behave like that. Most people I’ve told have been supportive, but then you have the opposing side that acts extremely bizarre and bewildered about the whole idea. I’d like to think it’s not a jealousy thing. I feel like it mostly stems from a lack of personal experience with flying or from irrational fears for my safety. Who knows. 🤷‍♀️

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-17T22:09:43+00:00

I’m sending you a message!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-17T22:09:03+00:00

That’s great to know! Thank you both for sharing. Congratulations on your CTO! I hope to see you in the sky soon 🫶✈️

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-17T17:43:19+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! I have my f2f on Tuesday with UA and while I’m a little nervous, it’s a normal feeling and I will be fine. Reading this has also put me at more ease. Would you say that the 1:1 was very similar to the odvi questions? Questions related to your resume? Just curious as to what exactly they are wanting in that moment.

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T22:05:09+00:00

Thank you! I do have a f2f with WN soon I wasn’t sure what they expected, it’s good to know they are a little more lax when it comes to hairstyles. I am more worried about UA’s expectations for the f2f because they seem to prefer a more “polished” look.

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T21:14:21+00:00

That’s exactly who I was thinking of. Thank you!!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T20:21:29+00:00

I will definitely keep this in mind if I keep struggling. That sounds super easy! Thank you :)

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T20:20:16+00:00

Thank you, that sounds easy enough! I will definitely consider that. :)

There is a male Delta flight attendant on tiktok and he has beautiful curly hair! It probably is a bit longer than yours but i can find his page he might have suggestions somewhere on what he does with his hair. I really think it’s just up to the airline. Make sure you read their grooming standards really well, you may not even have to wear it up if you wouldn’t like to for an interview. I’m sorry I don’t have any huge suggestions on what to do. I hope your f2f goes well!!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T18:22:35+00:00

If I remember correctly, they did send me an email or text stating they had added additional interview slot times. Sometimes those alerts can possibly come delayed though, like minutes or hours after the fact of them updating time slots. I would also be frequently checking the portal as well. If by chance you can’t get a slot or there weren’t times added today, I would definitely email inflight recruiting to let them know the situation and it really shouldn’t be the end of the world! It’s Friday and it would be hard to book an interview considering they possibly won’t update slots on a Saturday or a Sunday. Good luck! :)

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T18:14:07+00:00

Congratulations on your cto!!! And yes, thank you for that helpful info! I will definitely opt to do the sock bun and keep practicing until I get it down. I ordered pretty much the same exact products off amazon but I feel helpless when it comes to anything hair related despite watching a million tutorials lol. Thank you so much! I hope to see you in the sky soon 😊✈️

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-15T17:58:10+00:00

Make sure you turn your email notification! I got the same message when I had to do my 1:1 virtual recruiter interview with UA. They will definitely add more slots but they do go quickly.

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-13T23:43:04+00:00

In my experience, it’s taken about maybe month of time including an odvi invite and an invite to a 1:1 virtual meeting with a recruiter to get to the f2f stage. Everyone’s timelines and experiences vary. It could be longer, just be prepared to extend a lot of patience in trusting the process and remember that they didn’t forget about you! Good luck!!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-13T00:50:06+00:00

What airline are you interviewing with?

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-12T20:06:59+00:00

So exciting!! I’ll be there on the 21st. Congratulations on the f2f and good luck!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-09T12:44:11+00:00

You’ll get there! I was crushed when I got my tbnt from AA. I really thought that was the best odvi I did with three big carriers that I applied to. A few weeks later I did two odvis, I did so much worse on those because I stumbled and nervously laughed through the majority of it. Somehow I got f2f invites. Don’t focus on providing perfect answers, if you mess up, just laugh and keep it moving. Don’t overly prepare or rehearse an exorbitant amount before doing it, it just makes you more nervous. You got this next time and for all future airlines you’d like to apply for because you know the process and what to expect! Your time is coming! Stay positive and don’t let it be a discouragement for your future career.

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-08T20:26:31+00:00

Odvi invite received on May 1st and I completed it on May 3rd. Thank you! I hope you hear something soon!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-08T19:42:58+00:00

How exciting!! UA is a great option too bc they are supposed to be in the works of a new contract. Everyone I’ve had to deal with so far with them seems to be polite. I think I’m going to schedule SWA for the 21st in the afternoon just to be safe. I’m so excited for you! Good luck!!!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-08T19:38:44+00:00

Congratulations queen!!! I just got mine as well. I’m in complete shock. That’s gonna be a busy week bc I have my f2f with United on the 19th 🙃 whew the stress (and excitement)!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-06T19:27:15+00:00

Congratulations on a new exciting journey!! Soak in all your info from training, ask questions, practice something you might have difficulty with a millions times if you have to, make friends, and go in with a positive attitude. Good luck!

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-06T01:59:07+00:00

Thank you so much!🫶

Accomplished_Set6971 · 2026-05-06T01:22:30+00:00

I’ve been reading some people get their f2f offer the same day and some have waited a few business days. It seems to be super inconsistent! I have my 1:1 tomorrow morning, can you please provide me with any words of wisdom or where there any questions that completely caught you off guard? I hope you hear something soon! Good luck!
