Southwest Airlines pay in training

[suupah]

Anyone know what swa pays in training? Thanks in advance!

If you're talking first year, I've been told:

$50.17 per trip @ 88-89 trips depending on 30/31 day month.

I think RSV pay is roughly the same, so with per diem, $60K year one is a good guess. That's what I'm budgeting anyway.

Thanks!! Is that the pay during training as well?

The 88-89 trips is for training, yes.

Picking up extra fly is paid at 2nd year pay-
I picked up a turn or a two day in year 1 and made $70k

Is that still in the contract? Heard a rumor it wasn't.

 

[waveflyer]

I hadn't heard that
I know it's all different terms now
I'll check if someone in the know doesn't get to it quicker

At least you can survive first year. $40 at AA/US would be brutal.

Flying a 737 for the rest of my career at 1/2 of what I'd make at AA in a lifetime career would be more than brutal.

First year First Officers that fly open time that exceeds their original line total for the month will be paid at second year rates for all open time, plus any applicable premium associated with the open time.
