SWA paycheck question

[j41driver]

So I see that paydays are 5th and 20th. How does the company divide the trips for each paycheck? I'm guessing one is a set number of TFP with the other making up the difference for the month? If so, which is which? Just trying to see if any of our household finances need rearranged prior class next month.

Thanks!

The 5th is the straight check at a pre-determined amount and the 20th has the overage and the per diem from the previous month.

The 5th check depends on your payrate and longevity.

 

[scoreboardII]

The 5th is a fixed payment based on your previous months bid line. The 20th is a payment which fixes the ledger to pay the previous month off in full. Expect the 20th to pay more unless you dropped lots of trips.

On those dates unicorns and bunny rabbits feet will be deposited into your account, both can be resold on Ebay.

Dude, you beat me, do you have that FCFS software as well?

Thanks guys. Any idea how many TFP a FO on 7yr pay could expect on the 5th?

It's roughly 47 trips, plus or minus .1 to .5

Depending on how many you claim on your taxes, where you live, max 401K, 105 tfps, you should take home 7500-8700 a month. Can make more and work less if your smart.

To be exact, the check on the 5th is always 47.5 trips. I have buddy on 7yr pay. He recently said his take-home is roughly $3,500 on the 5th. 10% 401k out of that. His last 20th check was about $5,000.

As you know, there are a million things to affect the second check. The check on the 20th is 47.5 + whatever you went over 95 on the previous month.

Your per diem for the prior month is also in the 20th check. No per diem in the 5th check.

If you'd said that out loud, would your voice get high pitched and saliva shoot from your mouth ?

7 year FO you can easily make 160-180K and three weeks vacation.

How many days off a month is this and how many hard hours in the seat you think? Thx!

It varies, but I just did a quick check the May lines. Many/most of the 95 TFP lines have 17-19 days off and roughly 80-85 hours. There are lots of higher paying lines and a few lower.

That's pretty average for most 31 day months, except maybe Jan.....

I'm on 5th year pay. This month I have 12 days off, 133 TFP and I'm blocking 92 hours. I also had 5 TFP for online training which is included.

133*$113.95 = $15,155.35
Per Diem= $580

My 5th paycheck is always $3,156 and that's with 10% on the Roth 401K and no other deductions, single with max withholding's.

My 20th paycheck for May 20th will be between $6,000-$6,100.

DEC 113 TFP, 52 block with 15 days off.
JAN: 115 TFP, 43 block with 17 days off. (7 were vacation)
FEB: 101 TFP, 69 block with 14 days off.
MAR: 117 TFP, 37 block with 13 days off.

Huron, were those days off per month you listed decreased from the original line you bid by trips you picked up or were those actual days off as built in your line?
