SWA trip pairing

[highflying]

Does SWA offer many 1 or 2 day trips? Or are most of their trip pairing 3 or 4 days?

There are a few one and two day pairings but most are 3 days. four day trips are thrown in the mix also

Do the day trips and two days go senior or can anyone get them?

In my experience, lots of 3 and 4 days for someone in the lower 30% of domicile seniority. More 4 day trips if you are very junior.

Some senior dudes have a few 1 and 2 day pairings every month. They usually fly a couple of days fewer every month too.

There is a trick you can play with overlap or vacation to reduce your regular line so you can pick up 1 or 2 day pairings from other pilots. Only useful part of the time.

so there really arent any lines that have only day trips for the entire month?

Depends on the domicile but I figure 10 or fewer lines per month have only 1 and 2 day pairings.

So there really are lines like that......
