Hi tdavid88,           I did receive all emails and a call from a recruiter around August 17.  I immediately scheduled drug testing and fingerprints.  A couple of days ago I got an email saying screening complete.  I contacted recruiter who told me I was cleared and would hear from a coordinator by email or phone. Still excited and patiently waiting.  Will keep you posted,   SMA   ... View more

The processing on the SIDA can take a variable amount of time depending on background and how busy the badging office is. I would contact your Station Admin Coordinator before your start date to confirm whether the SIDA process is complete or your badge is ready. If it isn't, depending on the station, you might be able to keep your start date and just be escorted into the SIDA area. Contact your admin for details - they should have been the ones who reached out to you to schedule your SIDA appointment or sent you the application. ... View more

Hi,  I'm also waiting.  Received offer letter on July 15, today is August 1 and I still have not received the emails to complete the hiring process.  I sent an email to recruiter listed on the contigent offer letter, so far no response.  On the letter is does say that process can take up to 4-6 weeks to complete.  From reading several post is seems like other people also went through same process.  Please share any helpful information.  Thanks  ...

I gave 4 years of my life at your company, and when you have been lied to time after time, had weeks of your time wasted, been told 20 different stories and given bs lie after bs lie, you express yourself. I would expect nothing less from the brain washed labor to comment on sometime they are actually clueless about.... Enough said! ... View more

They are the ones that work at the gate during boarding. They scan boarding passes, communicate with the flight crew, figure out the weight and balance. They do so much more than that though! There is a lot of standing involved, and I recommend comfortable shoes. There is usually OT for us rampers, and I'm sure it's available in the other departments too. It'll be a minute before you can grab OT. After you are fully certified and signed off, you take whatever OT you want. There are always people who want to give away their shifts, so you can always grab extra hours that way too.    Maybe another OPS Agent can chime in here? ... View more

Hello, you will be just fine. You are on your way to a start date! ... View more

Look at the discussion where other CSA’s and SWA applicants have posted their timelines for getting hired, and actual start dates.  You will see its a process and patience is key.  You will also see several posts of ppl saying that SWA has actual people reviewing our applications and not BOTS (be very thankful for that) so it may take longer.  When I was offered my CJO, she also said “please be patient, as the process can take a while”.  I think you are both fine, just keep checking your emails, and def check the junk and spam folders, I found one of my emails in there. ...

Good ole Phoenix!  I always told myself I would visit there one day.  It looks so beautiful there.  I want to catch a great sunset.  With Southwest, it will be on my travel list.😀 ... View more

Oh my timeline was really long  I applied back in early March and didn’t get a start date of 6/20 until late April/early May.  so I have been waiting awhile to start.  my recruiter did tell me there is another start date at BWI in July. So if your not in June you’ll probably definitely make July, my guess. Hopefully your process moves faster than mine.  keep me posted so if you make my class I can look for you!! ... View more
