Default SWA training schedule

Just accepted a mid-Oct FO class start date. I heard the training is about two months long.
What is like on weekends? Are Sat/Sun typically off unless in sims?
Post sim training timeline ?

Any flexibility maybe for one off events such as family member's wedding?

Thanks much

Default Days off

To be clear, it was never the same day off from week to week last October/November.

you’ll be scheduled per training scheduling’s convenience and not your preference, circadian rhythm or common sense.

Do NOT bring your vehicle to Dallas unless you want to buy a new tailgate and catalytic converter. If you disregard this and decide to FAAFO, be sure to place cinder blocks at all four corners of your ride when you park for the night. There’s a 10 percent chance they’ll do you a solid and utilize the blocks during the 100 percent forgone conclusion of them jacking your round-rounds.

As far as making the wedding goes, you might get lucky since weddings are usually on Saturday. A far better strategy would be to get your offer from United, American, or Delta the week before the wedding and then tell SWA to go get ****ed.

Welcome aboard.
