ETOPS
If you move to an FO ETOPS position, how long is the current wait to start training? TIA.

I’m a new hire starting class in a few weeks and have a bunch of questions about the ETOPS program. I read that there are ETOPS qualified pilots at LAX, OAK, and LAS. I’m looking to get LA when I can.
1. It sounds like not everyone at each of those bases is ETOPS qualified. What is the rough number of ETOPS-qualified crews in LA? 2. Is it the most senior folks who tend to bid ETOPS? 3. Once you’re ETOPS-qualified, is that all you do or are you still flying throughout the rest of the system? 4. If you get ETOPS qualified as an FO, does that carry over after upgrade? Thanks in advance for an insights. |
LA is only ETOPS . If you bid this base as #1 you'll most likely get it.

Thanks in advance for an insights. Once ETOPS qualified you can/will fly to anywhere on our map. I’ll go months sometimes between ETOPS trips, mostly cause I’m a dumb bidder. You maintain your ETOPS qual as long as you stay up on it through recurrent training. They’ll tack an extra day to your annual training every third year I think it is, as long as you’re still in an ETOPS base. If you bid out of an ETOPS base they won’t add on the ETOPS recurrent training but until it expires you could technically still pick up ETOPS trips from those bases. Welcome to SWA! |
Great info. Thank you!

You guys have an Instagram pilot that’s based out of PHX. And he talks about flying to Hawaii a lot. So I just figured that the Phoenix pilots are ETOPS too…maybe not
