SWA pay periods

[Ky.BrownBourbn]

Oh come on. Someone flying for Southwest ain't exactly living paycheck to paycheck like a pos rj punk. Waiting an extra 24 hours for a paycheck should not be an earth shattering emergency.

Don't fool yourself, there are plenty of guys over here living paycheck to paycheck! I've personally flown with guys that don't contribute anything to their 401K, Nothing. And that's just on the Capt. side, I'm sure there are FO's as well! Common reasons are going through or went through a BAD Divorce, Bankruptcy (usually due to Bad real estate decesions) or both. Just because you are making 220K a year, doesn't mean you can't live Paycheck to Paycheck.

The rampers and other ground crews....THEY are working paycheck to paycheck.

I know a pilot who, between he and his wife, make 200k a year with ZERO overtime. ( And they both work plenty of that )

BANKRUPT.

They don't drive Ferrari's, they had a modest boat, and an "average" McMansion of about 3200 sq ft.

No minks or $800.00 pairs of shoes. Just two small kids, public schools, in a place where the cost of living/tax base is relatively low.

BANKRUPT.

WHY?

Very poor Money Managers.

It's not all about what you earn, it's not really about what you spend....it's mainly about what you keep for yourself and how you keep track of it all.

Paying a day late is BS....if payday falls on a Sunday, you should be paid on Friday. Do they expect you to ever be late to work?

Well, it's not like it's a surprise to us. We can easily look at a calendar and see....hmmm, the 20th is Sunday, so it will for sure be in there by the 21st. But, as mentioned, most of the time it's early in that situation.

Plus its negotiated and we are told when the paydays will be. Its not a day late, its when they told us we would be paid.

Just think of the extra intrest SWA gets by having all that cash in the bank an extra day.

Bank of America: always early.

Bank of America: always late.

Might depend on what state your bank is in too.

I use BofA (TX) and have yet to have a late deposit. It may post to SWALife a day late, but that doesn't affect my access to my money.

Use BofA (IL). Always on time or early. Always.
