FCC Permit
I'm preparing to apply for Southwest and getting my credentials in order. I was going to update to my new address on the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit, but the FCC, in typical government fashion, has made it difficult to do and now I'm being informed I have to pay $35 again. Does SWA care if my old address is on this? Do they even vett it with the FCC? My current employer never cared and we fly international often. Thanks.

Since my first 121, some 43 years ago, along with a bunch of carriers in the US not once was I required to include my FCC license in my submission packages. Different story for carriers I flew with overseas, however. Still have the same replacement certificate, in my wallet, issued in 1978.

I'm hoping it remains legible until I retire.

you only have to pay if you want them to mail you a copy.
Change address and then download copy on pdf and save it and show them that. I stopped carrying my paper one once I got an iPad for work. Even FAA was ok with that.
