Probably lots of OT and trip crediting etc to reach that figure.

First year FO here; on track to make between 82-88k. This is before any company match or profit sharing that I'll get next year.

The numbers on APC do this company no justice.

Thanks. Are you doing this as a commuter?

So I haven't updated my app in 2 years and noticed yesterday I could select interview dates on pilot credentials, yet I never received an email! However, having a hard time as I would be taking a massive pay cut that would take while to recover from despite Swa being a great place to be for most.

Yes. Bear in mind anything you pick up is second year pay. So if you're awarded 90tfp on reserve and pick up 30 TFP at second year rates; you're getting an extra 2500 a month. That's roughly an extra 30k first year.

What do company match and profit sharing do? You won't see those until you turn 65.

I've been applying since 2007'ish and the only positive peep I've gotten was the WAI email...followed by immediate denial.

It's a strange process indeed...

A box shows up on the left for references and hiring info that has all the forms needed to be filled in etc. On hiring info a list of interview dates shows up.

Out of curiosity I pulled up Pilot Credentials and took a guess at my password and to my surprise accessed my profile. I've only applied to SWA once - September of 2013. I figured it had all been dumped by now. How long does Pilot Credentials keep this stuff on file? It would be pretty easy to update my flight times, fill out the Southwest app and hit submit....hmmmmm.

How long does it take to get to 125k? Is DAL possible for a junior puke? In a pretty cushy situation right now but it never hurts to look...
