The TA we will be voting on in Oct has a first year pay rate of $67/TFP which equates to about $79/hour

I thought it funny an ad just came up here for Envoy advertising a $15k sign on bonus and guaranteed follow-on with American.

Can someone provide their hack on the current list of SWA domiciles by seniority? Yes, I realize that one person's first choice is another's last, but there surely is a good estimate of least popular to most.

The October base awards senior to junior, with the most junior number in that base, are:
ATL 6836
MCO 8930
DAL 8990
HOU 9069
DEN 9078
BWI 9084
MDW 9110
PHX 9117
LAS 9127
OAK 9156

My class only, 7 want MDW, 6 want PHX, 3 DEN, 2 OAK, 2 HOU, 1 DAL, 1 MCO, 3 LAS.

Just remember that things constantly change. This list may look completely different on the Nov base vacancy award.

Is there a service contract with that bonus?

As for pay at SWA, I just figure how many trips per month times the TFP rate.

If the TA passes, 2nd year pay goes to $97 per trip (many use an average of 108 trips per month to figure pay).

108 per month is a little high in my opinion, but I give myself at least 3 days off between trips so I don't play the system very well. I shoot for 100

Can't I still think it's ironic?
