Can any SWA pilots please provide some up to date information for the following questions. Thank you.
What do SWA pilots typically make per year (W2), particularly First Officers? I've seen the pay tables but understand that hourly pay rates are not always an accurate indicator of W2 pay. Also, I have heard that 1st year FO's can make 2nd year pay by picking up trips. Is this true? If so, how likely is it?
What are the junior bases (as of Sept. 2008)? How likely is it for a new hire/reserve to be able to pick up/trade for out of base trips? How long are most trips (2,3,4 days)?
How long does it take to get called for an interview (once application has been submitted)?
Do SWA pilots have their own website forums?
Any other information about the quality of life and compensation of SWA pilots is much appreciated.
