How does it work for months with multiple classes? In March, I believe there are 3. Do they award bases monthly, where the first class of march would be in the top 50/180? Or would they award domiciles for each class with the same effective date, say 6/1/22?

You will be awarded whatever your seniority can hold when they get to your number.

I have well over 15k and have been called apathetic.
Pretty much spot on

The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy. It's that I just don't care.

Application Window

Hi,
Is SW still going the application window route?
If so, how does one find out when that would be?

Thanks!

Yes and it was just open last week. You'll find out be checking the website, networking with people who are also looking, and forums like this.

First year vacation:
1- how much vacation time do you get year one?
2- If I was a new hire with a planned previous vacation is there any unpaid personal time approved by chief pilots?
3- how much sick time per month do we build?

3. Basically 10% of your trip total. Credit 100 trips, get 10 in your sick bank. So the first few months suck if you don't have anything in your bank and are sick...basically unpaid.
