If you are new to the airline industry and haven't received any training specific to this role, consider what training you have that might be transferable to this role (IE: Sales, Safety, Customer Service, Technical, etc.). Before walking your interviewer through any on-the-job training you feel might be helpful, research to ensure it is relatable to what they offer. Regardless of any industry-related training you have been through, Southwest Airlines will provide training specific to their airline as part of your onboarding and continuous development.

I had 4 weeks of industry-related training with Omni Air International. It was intense and overwhelming. But I learned to focus on what needed to be learned now, not tomorrow or 2 days from now. I also utilized note cards and Quizlet to help me learn.
