anyone know if they are offering with those 2 years of pilot seniority? Or just start at the bottom once you start as a FO

Definitely interested. Does anyone get picked up by United, Delta, or AA out of there? Worried won’t be competitive if not actively flying.

There’s a note in company email today. If you refer a candidate who becomes an instructor, and they complete training by Dec 31, you both get $5000!
Sooo… anybody who wants to be an instructor drop me a PM. 🤣 New perks according to the hiring page: - $60,000 onboarding incentive: Offering a full-time onboarding incentive of $60,000 in return for a 24-month, full-time commitment as a Flight Instructor. The incentive would be paid in two installments – $30,000 upon one year of service from Instructor qualification and the second $30,000 two years after qualification. - Flow through opportunity: A new flow-through opportunity for our Training Instructors to get a direct path to becoming First Officers with Heart! The program would begin with full-time Instructors starting in May of 2022 and would require new Employees to serve as a fully qualified Flight Instructor for two years. Following that time, they would be added to a Pilot Initial class once available. - Quality of life commuter benefits: If granted, must-ride transportation on Southwest Airlines to/from DAL from your commuter location for work-related activities upon request. |

I’d be very careful going for this job. I recommend reading previous posts for sure before you decide to apply. If you want to move to DFW there are a TONZ of better places to instruct and lots of pilot positions. Not trying to burst your bubble but if you are considering FCTI with SWA I’d definitely suggest talking to a few current instructors and at least reading the previous comments from other instructors.

I appreciate the heads up. I have done this. I am also currently an instructor at another company in DFW. I would like to verify exactly what SWA has to offer. My hometown is a short commute away. This could be a good fit for family reasons.
