We had at least two that were over 50 in my newhire class in 2015. Think about it—the shorter the career the more money they save.

it's also illegal for the company to ask about age, or make a hiring decision - yay or nay - predicated on age.

Ha it’s a one way street at SWA. Golden rule has been a fallacy at SWA for a long time.

Age 43

9,000 TPIC
4 year degree (albeit online and later in life)

No apps out anywhere else. I live in a SWA base and have commuted all of my career and am tired of it (but I’m not moving!). No desire to go to a legacy.

SWA meets all my career reqs.

Good luck to all! Remember, this career owes you nothing.

Southwest is remaking itself into a legacy.

Why would you not want to go to legacy, assuming one had a domicile where you live?

Because they wear hats.
