Far as recessions go….I’d rather be here than anywhere else.

Thanks folks, good info & helpful. Yep, was around in 08’ for the fiasco. Just wanted a realistic number to help see thru the co brief fluff.

Based on APC rates, not sure if it’d be a wash or break even being a FO there for the next 8 years. Thanks in advance.
edit: not sure if it’d be a smart move with a recession

Also eventually the new contract will come, and the pay rates are going to have to go up A LOT. It'll happen. If you come to SWA, you wont be hurting for money once you make it through training and hit the line. Unless you buy a lambo and a boat as a junior FO.

Curious about timeline from CJO to call from a CP. I interviewed last week, CJO came the following day and the background check, finger printing and drug test instructions the day after. Some others in my interview group have received their calls this week. Just wondering if anyone has insight on what affects the timeline of getting your call/being able to schedule training. Thanks!
Should add that I received an email from a recruiting coordinator that my employment screening was successfully completed. *

I wonder why some are getting the phone call...? Maybe that's still to come. I do now have access to the study material on PilotCredentials
