Good Morning,
I completed the SIDA info a little over two weeks ago, how long does the process take? I’ve had one in the past and it only took 1 week at the most.

@mseti1926 enjoy your time at TOPS!!! I’m just taking in everything you said. Just take everything in on Day 1. I won’t try to stress… lol. I’m sure we play a lot of roles within the operation. You will definitely be one of my “go to” people just in case I have any questions.

Thank you for your experience! I truly appreciate it. I will start August 22nd and I’m looking forward to it. I currently load plane flights for cargo… but I’m sure that this will be a totally different experience. Whew! Lol….I’m a little nervous… but I should be ok. At your airport, is the Mandatory OT in effect?

That’s a real answer to your question. I say that because we all have been in your shoes. I had my interview on May 4th and did not get my final offer and start date until the end of June. I was in my feelings a little bit because my thoughts were all over the place. I had nothing to worry about, but I couldn’t understand why it was taking sooooo long. Everyone was telling me to be patient, but that was hard.

Well, my start date is near… finally after 2 months of waiting. I had to go in for my SIDA and SWA badge last week. Hoping to come across my BWI coworkers in the meantime.

Hmmmm… there can be a lot said here, however, the bitterness, you could have been kept to yourself and let the current and future SWA employees enjoy the experience.

Good Afternoon,
First and foremost, congratulations on your CJO. I will be starting as an Ops Agent as well. I would reach out to the person who sent you the contingent offer. You should have had all 3 emails the same day, if not, the next day. At this point, you should be waiting for the final offer letter.

Geeesh! But I like the variety of the shifts. My current full time is 10 hr shifts, so I would love the 8 hour shift. If I would be able to pick up potential OT I would let the part time go, I’m actually kind of over it at this point. Lol. Oh, maybe you can answer this question. What does the op agent do all day? Lol… tryna get an idea. Thanks!

GM everyone! I’m going back and forth about quitting my part time job before my start date, which is in August. I’m reading about the different shift changes and possible OT hours and do not want the part time to interfere. I know each airport run airlines different due to the size, hours, etc. I will be working out of BWI which stays busy. Any thoughts?

You will be fine. The process takes time…. and yes, it is nerve wrecking. I received my CJO on May 4th and it took up until June 16th to get my final offer letter.

Well…date change. August 22nd it is! It works out even better! I wanted to hit my two year mark at my current job! 2 promotions and helping to launch a new facility were achievements I never thought I would accomplish. My last day there will mark exactly 2 yrs. Hard work pays off because that is how I was introduced into the aviation world! Southwest will be my final leg of the race and I’m excited!

Is anyone in the final stages of the hiring process for OPS Agent (waiting for start date), or if you’re currently a new hire for OPS how long did it take to get your start date? Going on 2 weeks now since I’ve been cleared from background and fingerprinting and over a month since I received my CJO. I just wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat as me. Very eager to get started, but the waiting game is somewhat stressful. Hopefully I hear something soon.
Hello,
I’m in the same boat. I’m going in as an Ops Agent. It been since May 4th since I’ve accepted my CJO, and haven’t received a start date. My application still says under review. I will be a BWI. The wait has been awhile.
