I have gotten my start date and I am looking at 7am - 3:30pm for the first week at the airport and week 2 and 3 will be the on the job training. I was told that week 4 will be the 4 day training at Dallas. I just wanted to ask if anyone here knew how the schedule looks for the on the job training. I know that I will have the same schedule as my trainer and most likely morning shifts from what I have been hearing.
Anyone here working at the Austin station and can kind of give me an idea on how the actual shift schedule looks? Reason why is I am trying to see what time I will put my kids to daycare and if I am able to pick them up at as well, so that me and my wife can fix our work schedules accordingly. I am trying my best to make this work and not let go of this great opportunity and not have to resign. Thank you in advance !

Hey @smeralda05 !
I've had relatively only positive experiences non-revving as an Employee. While I'm not a parent, I have traveled with my 13 and 11 year old siblings over the year and have been shown the tried and true Southwest Hospitality each time.
I agree that traveling on weekdays is the easiest and sometimes traveling on the holidays themselves is actually easier than around the holiday (Thanksgiving for example). What's nice about traveling with your kids is that if on the same reservation they'll maintain your Employee status when checking in, making it easier to get the first few spots on the standby list.
Additionally, if your kids fall within the age limit for Family Boarding you are able to take advantage of that. If not, I've had great experiences with our Flight Attendants keeping an eye on my siblings when we were unable to sit together.
And lastly, you can always check the load factor of each flight via the Employee listing tool.
I hope this helps!
