Gotcha! My understanding is that training is 5 days long and you'd be in Dallas from Sunday to Thursday, so that wouldn't allow for a trip to Houston. But the good thing is you'll be able to fly nonrev once you're through with training and see him then!

Sounds like we're almost as excited as you are!! Right now the USPS check is taking about 3 or 4 weeks, if that helps.

Thanks for reaching out! The background check takes about four weeks or so. Then once the results come back, it takes another week or so to schedule a start date. Good luck!

Good question, Julie! We had positions open for each of those locations, but they didn't all close at the same time. I hope that helps!

Hey Dave. Congratulations on the offer! Our Ramp Agent wages are negotiated by the union, and thus the starting wage isn't negotiable. It's worth noting that the starting wage will go up to $17/hr starting, and more in some other stations. While the Recruiter won't be able to change the wage, you could ask them about starting in Denver if you'd rather be there than Burbank.

Hey @tonimarie00 - I checked in your application and we're still waiting for clearance to come back from USPS. Regardless, I asked your Recruiter for an update so either they or I will reach back out in the next day or so with a status update! Thanks for your patience 😁

Hey @ccamp1123 - Thanks for checking back in! I messaged your Recruiter, Caitlin, this morning and she (or one of our Coordinators) will reach out to you today to touch base. Sorry for the delay here!

Good question, Jonathan! No, I don't believe that would be a disqualifying factor. Feel free to bring it up with your Recruiter though! They know the ins and outs of the background process better than I do.

So glad to hear you're interested, @ashamburg! Our Flight Attendants are the best in the business. We don't have an immediate plan to open applications again, we last opened the application in November of 2021. I don't have any concrete information, but we usually accept applications about once a year, so unfortunately it might be a while yet. We're lucky to receive a lot of interest each time we open it, so it can take us that year to look through all the applications. I hope you'll apply when it opens again -- good luck!

Hi @leeellen21! Glad to hear you'll be joining the Team! ONce you're through with the background process, you should receive a training start date! Training varies by position, but most involve some classroom time and then you'll get on-the-job training. Hope that helps!

Good question, @marinalm! I'd recommend checking with your recruiter, but I believe as long as you've gotten at least one dose of the vaccine before your training start date, the fact that you're currently unvaccinated isn't a disqualifying factor. We do also offer some exemptions, but I really don't know what those are. If you might qualify for an exemption, please let your recruiter know! They're the experts.

Congratulations, @Fluker96! I'm glad to hear you'll be joining the SWA family! @Lserna was spot on, you should get more information in a week or two with next steps. The background process usually takes 3-6 weeks depending on what career you're starting. Always feel free to email your recruiter if you have any questions on the specifics of your onboarding process!
