T1,
Sorry for the long delay in answering. In terms of seniority, OAK, BWI, & MDW hold the spot(s) for being the junior most base. This varies from month to month but generally out of any new hire class there are new hires that end up at each base. MCO isn't too far behind & then PHX, HOU. You won't get PHX or HOU directly out of the chute. To get to anywhere but HOU & DAL is likely within 3-4 months. To HOU it will take probably 5-7 months. DAL is running 18 months but that can vary a little obviously.
Crash pad discussions were pretty accurate for MDW. BWI isn't bad but MDW is probably the best due to the walking distance. OAK, no info, rough neighborhood I hear.
Stump, Sorry for the delay;
Capt pay. I'm posting the scale below:
3% 3% 5%
9/1/2001 9/1/2002 9/1/2003 9/1/2004
$109.68 $112.97 $116.36 $122.17
Yr 1
Yr 2 $111.02 $114.35 $117.78 $123.67
Yr 3 $112.37 $115.74 $119.21 $125.17
Yr 4 $113.71 $117.12 $120.63 $126.67
Yr 5 $114.97 $118.41 $121.97 $128.07
Yr 6 $116.41 $119.90 $123.50 $129.67
Yr 7 $117.74 $121.27 $124.91 $131.16
Yr 8 $119.09 $122.66 $126.34 $132.65
Yr 9 $120.44 $124.05 $127.78 $134.16
Yr 10 $121.77 $125.43 $129.19 $135.65
Yr 11 $123.12 $126.81 $130.62 $137.15
Yr 12 $124.46 $128.20 $132.04 $138.64
To get an hourly rate multiply the number by 1.189
Not applicable to this discussion but our Capts do receive more compensation than just this in the form of stock options. It gets too confusing to discuss & since no one on this site will be a Capt before the next SWA contract expires (Sept '04), to discuss the topic further is rather pointless in my opinion.
In terms of further negotiations with the company between the union & the company, let me just say they will begin anew here shortly. Just prior to 911 there was new tentative offer from the company to the union but the details have not been released. I'm pretty sure it involved an extension of the current contract & lots of options. We'll see what comes of it all in '02.
Hope that helps,

Posted on another web site.
DALLAS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV - news), the No. 7 U.S. carrier, said on Tuesday it would take delivery of four previously deferred Boeing (NYSE:BA - news) airplanes and start two new routes as it cautiously resumes growth plans.
Southwest, the leading low-cost airline, was the only one of five major U.S. carriers last week to post a profit for the fourth quarter in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Unlike its rivals, Southwest did not cut back on its capacity in the form of available seat miles. It did, however, announce plans to defer delivery of 19 jets to conserve cash.
On March 10, Southwest will initiate nonstop service between Chicago Midway and Seattle with two daily round-trip flights. Also on that day, it will add a daily nonstop flight between Midway and Phoenix for a total of four daily nonstop round-trips in that market. On April 7, Southwest will initiate nonstop service between Chicago Midway and Oakland, California with three daily round-trip flights.
While the carrier considers itself still in a recovery mode, the airline said its performance since Sept. 11 provides ``the necessary foundation'' to take the four new planes.
***************
Also, rumor has it the ground instructor force is going from 50 instructors to 90! That can only mean they want more pilots too!!
Hang in there guys, the tidal wave is coming. For those already on their boards hang on, for those waiting to get on their boards, get on now, for those thinking of buying a board, spend the money ASAP, the waves are going to last for awhile, (God & Herb willing!) cheers,

OKC to MDW
Right Bettor,
Thanks for the info. I live near Oklahoma City and will try to commute to Chicago Midway. I'd appreciate any more info. Also, the People Department folks briefed there is a possibility of opening a base in Kansas City or Las Vegas. Has anyone heard more about this?
