First off, WELCOME & CONGRATULATIONS.
I'm currently in week 3 of training 🙂
Your first week is called “federal” week. It’s where you go over required courses and conpany policies before you can start OJT. You’ll order uniforms and be able to set up your benefits. At my station it was M-F for week one, but the next 2-3 weeks Its OJT and had a mix of shifts mirroring my trainers schedule.
I leave to Dallas on Sunday for 11 nights 🙂
STUDY YOUR AIRPORT CODES!
it’s required for you to pass with 85% or higher, your trainer won’t be able to reload the course if you do not pass. It must be taken prior to heading to Dallas.

From what I’ve read on here, your training is going to be held in PHX or ATL. You won’t be training at the airport as it is a WFH position.

@ninacoladas my station admin started to be my main POC. She scheduled a time for me to get my airport badge, verify my documents and take my SWA photo. I started last week Monday 3/7. So about 2 weeks before my start date.

Today I’m wrapping up our first week.
lots and lots of info! They call it “federal week” in which you do federal related training for the job. Today we get to take a tour of our airport and our department which I’m excited about. We got our ojt schedule for the next 2 weeks. A mix of am and pm shifts and all throughout the various roles in our department.
I’m LUVing SWA! I’ve worked for a couple airlines before but I’ve never felt at “home” like this before.
be sure to practice and study the airport codes cause you will have to get a 85% or higher on it as the trainer can’t reload the course into your LMS. *you must take the test before you go to Dallas.
I hope this helps!

Yes, you’re still in the running. If your status changes to “Closed Complete” then that means you haven’t been selected!
good luck!

2/23 update:
Met with my station admin to take my company photo and fill out my required forms for my SIDA badge. Was told I’ll be receiving more emails next week about my 3/7 start date.
Feels good not to be hounding my emails and phone log 24/7.

@wacowgirl i believe we start at our station for 2-3 weeks then to Dallas! I’m sure you’ll start getting bombarded with emails this coming week.
I’m located in HNL. So it’s going to be a very LONG journey to DAL.
(When I spoke to someone from the people department, they said that the process for Hawaii is done differently from the U.S mainland)
