Per SWOL:
- Pilots hired before 10/01/2022 are 100% vested immediately.
- Pilots hired on or after 10/01/2022 will be 100% vested after three completed years of service.

This exact question was answered during our indoc by SAPA. They said it is based on original hire date for cadets.

Kind of an aside...
If you think you might stay at OO (or any regional) long enough to qualify for retirement travel benefits, you need to make sure you understand the rules because they vary depending on major partner. You might need X number of years flying that partner's metal (typically determined by base and fleet), and the years might need to be contiguous... ie, you can't bid to another fleet for a while and then come back, and you might need to be on that partner's paint on the day you retire.

you are right rick, if you stay here more than 20 years you will get it, or if you are older, 55 and have 10 years of service, you will get only UAL and DAL travel benies. you will not get AA, AS. lots of guys during the pandemic left and got their retirement travel benefits, left for greener pastures.
