Some questions about Southwest. Thanks in advance!

Benefits Question
1. How much per month for good insurance for a family of 4?
2. What are the details on the stock purchase plan?
3. What rate do you earn vacation
Reserve Questions
1. What is the reserve schedule per days off?
2. What are the reserve call out periods?
3. Is there a 24 hr call out?
Miscellaneous
1. What bases are currently the most junior for First Officers?
2. Are there any rumors of new bases and/or closures / downsizing?
3. How long do you have to stay at the junior base before transfer is available? (average time)
4. What is the min. daily guarantee?
5. What are most trips like (credit, total length, day length)
6. Do you think SWA is safe?
 
Your last question shows how ignorant you really are...please tell us your not asking these b/c your heading to an interview....I like to think they dont interview morons like you.

PS....on second thought....do the industry a favor and just stay where you are.

Question 6:

No man ,they are the devil!

Stay far, far away for your safety do not, I repeat do not dare apply!

(Man, just when you thought you heard it all....)

Oh, that kind of safe? Use protection....
Wait a minute you mean job security?
Thats what those guys in the blue shirts with
the shiny new badges are for... your safety.
Sorry your ambiguity confused me!

INMHO~I think SWA might be the safest bet out there....

I would say they are very safe, however upgrade time for a new hire is a long, long time.

True, but then is there a short, short time to upgrade at any major airline these days?

OurMoney,

Perhaps you are showing your own ignorance. ANYONE who thinks they are safe in this industry are sorely mistaken!
While I believe that SWA is very well positioned (today), I will never take that for granted...ever.

Well said....

I understand your concern. There is NO airline that is 'safe'. None, zilch, zero..

However, SWA is the gorilla and will be so for some time. Long enough to eke out a career in this shi&ty profession? Only who knows.... Do your friggin homework and look at the METRICs of every airline. I mean: liquidity, market cap, analysist reports, etc. do you homework... Decide for yourself, it is an easy decision: SWA. FEDEX, UPS..... that is it, I don't care what ANYone else says.... That is about the most stable you'll find. Everything else is:


RISK vs REWARD

good luck sucka,
TC

Pickleball anyone????????? SERVE!!!!!!!!!!

i'd rather be an f/o at SWA making $150k a year for a long time than an f/o at another airline making $70k for a long time...
 
Thank you for your time scoreboardII. I appreciate it. I did search but didn't enjoy sifting through everyone putting people down as is the usual per every topic on this site. FI gods, please forgive me for posting a group of specific questions in one place.
