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!

I would make sure on the very first day of training you advise your supervisor and even talk to the station manager about your time off needed. Make sure it's noted somewhere and remind them as the time gets closer. My trainer was a great person to ask for advice and who to talk to if I needed anything. Congrats on your special day and Welcome to the SWA family!

Probation period is 6 months once you start your first day. As long as you show up on time, do what you are asked and your job, you should be fine. Don't know i you have had prior ramp experience? Please remember that out on the ramp to practice SAFETY and to keep your head on a swivel. There is so much around an aircraft that can hurt you. After probation period you will get a new hourly rate if I am not mistaken.

Love the job. I was on day shift for a month on the ramp. Once my ramp training was completed I went to nights and I am closing now. I am low man on seniority which is why I am closing duties. I had previous ramp experience which is probably why I had only a month of training before they cut me loose. Good Luck!

I was contacted by the hiring department by phone call to watch my email for a link to set up an appointment for my drug test and finger prints. I had my finger prints done at UPS which was real easy. Congrats on the job offer and welcome to the family! Been with SWA now for 3 months and happy I got back into the airline industry, have met some great people!
