10 days off a month… where’s the throw up emoji?
Positive space commuting
$9117 a month to start
Company Seniority but not Pilot seniority. So if you get lucky enough to be hired after 3 years, you start at the bottom of the pilot seniority list.
401k matched dollar for dollar up to 9.3%, don’t know what % of profit share.
TWU is the union
Straight from a recruiter.
As said above, unless you cant get a medical or your only dream is to instruct in a simulator, there is no real incentives to taking this job if your younger and goal is to fly for a living.

fly the lines as a pilot? No. Entirely different employee group, seniority list and union. To date, the company does not want to pay line pilots to instruct in the simulators.

Neat idea if they negotiate and make it official. Pilot gets hired, instructs for three years, skips commuting to OAK and reserve and takes their seniority to the line. Great recruiting tool.

Instructors should be line pilots with a few years of experience on the line, like other airlines. I believe that the FCTI should be folded into SWAPA with some sort of fence (smarter people than me can figure this out) and all future FIs should be SWAPA pilots hired from the line.
