That's not what it said at all. Multiple Q&A specified there is no timeline for the purchase. The only requirement is that you have completed new hire training. I submitted my reimbursement request for my 2019 headset around 3pm today. It was already approved.

Compensation & Expenses Question 12-21-2023 Posted by: Anonymous

Q: Will headset reimbursement apply to any and all current SW pilots that have completed Southwest new hire training at any time? Annotated does not state "Completed training on or after DOR."
A: It does not. We confirmed with Labor Relations that they would accept pre-DOR receipts.

Awesome, I'm happy to be corrected. SWAPA has said there are some issues with the swa life version of the implementation and that there hasn't been any pushback from the company on it. Yet, at least.

I'm guessing this is one of the items. Glad you got your reimbursement.

did you have a receipt from 2019?

Of course. Everything is electronic. Sent in as PDF.

OK i'll give this a go also. I too have a receipt from 2019...
Curious what base you're in? I assume this could have some bit of differing interpretation by base...

I'm in BWI.

I went to Concour in swalife, created a new expense report. There was already a selection for 'Pilot Headset' with an associated cost center. Selected it, put in amount (don't put in more than $1k, it'll get rejected), uploaded receipt and submitted. 60 seconds later the status on the report went to 'approved - pending payment'. I think it's set to auto-approve.

hmm. I went with the form on comply365...we'll see if it gets kicked back or not.

Thanks for the info.

Depends on your base coordinator. Some will use the 365 form and file the concur for you, some won't. I remember things like this when I am donating to the coordinator fund at Christmas time.

Yep.... they are the only thing saving this pilot group from itself it seems.

You just described yourself!

For the past several months if anyone questioned or opposed the agreement you made lengthy, berating posts telling them they were wrong and an idiot.

Congratulations on being self aware.....you just need to connect the dots.
