Is that convenient when you try to travel as a family? Just yourself? What about discounts on flights? Or is that full price for all? My family is 4 of us I don't see it convenient to wait for 4 spots to be open in a last minute flight! I like to plan ahead that means I would probably have to buy tickets instead right?

Here are the four pathways of Destination 225:
The program offers four different pathways for eligible applicants:
Cadet Pathway – a four-year program based in Phoenix for candidates with no previous flying experience.
University Pathway – for those currently studying for an aviation degree at one of the program’s seven partner universities.
Military Pathway – for those looking to make the transition from military to commercial aviation.
Employee Pathway – for existing Southwest Airlines staff members looking for a career change.
I would head to this link and apply and see where that takes you.

Hope that helps and good luck!!!!

You should probably talk to your supervisor and you should also talk to your airport station manager. Being on probation, I am little shocked that they haven't addressed this with you already. When I was hired for the ramp in 2021 they made it clear about NCNS, late punches, and sick days and that you could be terminated for any one of those if it became a consistent thing.

I wish you many enjoyable years with the Southwest family. Enjoy the ride and have fun.

Don't know if you have prior ramp experience, but remember to keep your head on a swivel on the ramp. Listen to what your trainer has to say and don't be afraid to ask any and all questions. Remember locals and throughs in the forward bin and transfers in the back bin. Don't be afraid to ask for help in loading or unloading baggage and freight. The first couple of weeks you are going to have a lot thrown out at you, so please don't get frustrated and ask them questions no matter how small or unimportant it may be. Remember the last thing that safety for you and your co workers as well as the a/c are the most important thing while working out on the ramp!!! Here is a website for city code practicing before you start:

Good Luck and let us know how you are doing !!!!!

The next steps are receiving the final job offer and hotel / flight emails. They are coming in no particular order so keep a look out for them. You might receive the book hotel / flight email before the final offer email or vice versa. The final email will contain your start date and a link to the final offer letter. Congratulations!

It's good to see another old guy on the ramp, lol! There are some older rampers out where I work and we all get along and tease them young guys/gals. We had a bunch of new employees get hired, which gave me some seniority and took my name off the bottom of the mando list. I enjoy working outside and around planes again! I had previous ramp experience which helped out when I got back outside for training. I am glad I picked SWA over some other companies that were hiring at my airport.

@jmalloy I emailed my recruiter today and she stated they are just waiting on my fingerprints to process so no start date yet. Awesome, thank you very much! I’m a tad bit nervous, new job jitters pretty much.

I started gettting my onboarding emails this week and it says TOPS is resuming for start dates 2/28 and later. For ramp it specifically says 4 nights and leaving for Dallas on a Sunday. I hope this helps!

It ranges between 50-55 hrs a week. That number will go up or down depending on the last flight(terminator) into our station. Also, those hrs will go down most likely when we hire more people at our station which they have. I don't mind the OT since it's going into my 401k, which by the way is GREAT, I highly recommend starting one!
