I thought this post was about base assignments lol!

I have an October 16th class date and was wondering what the latest new hire base assignments were looking like? How long to hold Dallas is another question in my mind?
Also any guesses on when and if SWA will make STL a base? Thanks for your educated guesstimates your opinions are much appreciate!

OAK with a smattering of other bases. Wintertime my best guess would be some PHX, LAS, maybe BWI and HOU.
3-4 months to hold Dallas depending on growth. It shrank in October by a few and the junior guy to get in that month was over 4 years on property. Ask me how I know.
Probably never on STL.
LAX is opening up about the time you hit the line. After the first couple of months, they are going to be drafting new hires there. That is going to change things up.

No, the junior awardee in October was hired in 2014. The junior dallas pilot has been on property less than 6 months.
It will go junior again, probably to 3 or 4 months like in the past. SWA does seasonal adjustments to flying in different bases monthly. The central bases generally don’t feel too much of that, but Dallas shrunk slightly in October. Where you normally really see it is Orlando and the west bases.

We’re growing like a weed in STL and have a big operation there. It’ll happen but no one knows when.

Hopefully they start running some big upgrade classes when LAX opens. A rising tide lifts all ships.

I would bust my butt to get to the airport as fast as I could. I once flew a trip in civvies just to get an on time push. At one time you would have done anything to get the job. Now that you have it, screw the company.

Did you get the civvies exemption in writing from the CP?


Since being in uniform is part of the FOM...
