Does Southwest have a way you can enter in your age and start date and show your seniority progression through the years? I know some other airlines have this and trying to determine how mine would look down the road. I'm currently 28 and have a class in the next few months. Are the numbers on APC accurate as far as retirement goes? Is there a better way I can calculate it?

You’ll need to login with an active SWA pilot’s last name and employee number though to get access to
the features on there and even then the forecasted numbers will be based off of that person’s seniority and not yours.

Swapa has a seniority forecast app you will be able to use once you’re on property and my seniority.com is a webpage that shows future progression as well with some cool features as well but you’ll need a login for both.

The regular plan is the medical plan SWA offers with no premium correct? My understanding is that it works well for those that don't have preventative medical visits and would benefit those with no kids most likely.

Add monthly premiums + deductibles + copays and see what works out better.

End up in the hospital, and I’ll take the Regular Plan any day of the week.

Been on Regular Plan since Day 1 and no plans on leaving it.

Don’t get suckered by life insurance offers on other plans - keep your primary life insurance separate from Southwest for if something happens and you run out of sick leave, and die while out, your widow(er) gets nothing from the company’s life insurance.

Regular Plan works well for everyone. Even those with huge preventive outlays come out ahead. The big ones are having a kid (newborn care in hospital not covered) and colonoscopy. Breast cancer imaging would probably be a distant third. Those you may have to budget for, but zero premiums can buy a lot of that stuff and you will come out well ahead on everything else.

-Family of 3 with TRS if that matters for the answers

You would retire in the top 100, maybe 50, unless there's a drastic shift between now and your class. SW has hired a very limited number of young pilots in recent history (compared to other major carriers).

it’s good for everyone unless you’ve got a kid with autism…that’s one of the bigger conditions that is not covered.
