What about flight benefits? How does that work at LUV? Wife and kids I assume?

TFP is complicated but is basically based on distance flown, not hours. APC has their approximate conversion to hourly pay.

You get flight benefits for parents, spouse, and kids. If single, you get one “companion” each year that gets twelve round trips.

Indeed. Looking forward to the financial benefits as well as no longer turning in those captain reports. March will be a much more full-sized than the past year. That's gonna be nice to see!

The first year hasn't been bad but after a couple soft years (including a financially soft year at Sun Country) it's going to be nice to actually get back to what I was earning as an RJ captain and actually exceed those levels.

Very happy SWA offered me an interview and am humbled that they offered to take me on after I thought my expiration date had come and gone!

Travel kicks in almost right away, you bring documentation on day one. It takes six months to buy ZED’s. Travel is free for you and your family. You are also allowed to list two parents.

Are people happy with their healthcare?

What about moving from a typical 401k at a regional to Southwest fund, any ideas how that works?

Thanks for all the info guys, considering when I spoke to a recruiter they said the estimates keep increasing for hiring this year almost on the monthly I think a lot of people will find this thread helpful

Healthcare is fine. Many options including Regular Plan (zero premium).

Roll the 401k over like any job transfer. They will hook you up with forms.

Like at6d said, regular plan is pretty awesome. $0 monthly premiums but you pay out of pocket until you hit an individual/family deductible of $200/$300. After that you pay 20% up to a maximum yearly out of pocket of $2500. Only downside is preventative care is not covered.

Plan on roughly $4000/month after taxes while in training.

My class got mostly PHX LAS and OAK. MDW should be doable in 2 months.

Also, after IOE they will build you a line to bring you up to guarantee for the rest of the month. The month after you will be given a line to complete your consolidation (100 hours).

One thing I’ll add about the Regular Plan, they’ll try to scare you out of it by saying things like ‘colonoscopy or mammograms aren’t usually covered” which is complete BS. As long as your doc can code it as diagnostic as opposed to preventative, it’ll be covered under the Regular Plan.

The plan has been absolutely fantastic and it literally costs us nothing in premiums, and over time, the savings add up enough to cover just about any preventative stuff you may want to do.
