SWA newhire questions (July 9th start date)

[JetDude]

Looks like you really did your research and asked some questions before accepting the job.


I guess after paying for the type, 6 weeks of hotel out of pocket should be nothing.

SWA pays your hotel for the duration of training.

Did you really take a job not knowing what your pay or hotel would be during training?

PS- The flights out of PNS are always full with a few jumpseaters. PFN or MOB may be a better bet.

Your Curr Postion Negative. Seems about right. Good luck with that!!!

He's been that way for years....why stop now?

Pay during training is about $2000 each period which comes out to $4000 a month. Congrats on making it into class! It will be worth the wait.

is it continuous per diem since DAL won't be anyone's base?

 

[XJ-spartacus]

No per-diem. DAL is your base during training. Also, I don't know much about your commute, but I used FedEx 3 months commuting to OAK. When you absolutely positively have to be there overnight, go FedEx. First time commuters need to list at least 24hr in advance. This is of course with a passport, and entered into CASS. SWA is pretty fast about getting you into CASS if you enter training with a passport.
