New Hire Fa Base

[dfw79]

Just checking in on this for a friend...any ideas where most of the new hire FAs are being based out of these days? The person that is wanting to apply there is set on being based in DAL, but some reason I kept thinking BWI or LAS (if those are ever bases).

Thanks

Most new hires are going to MDW, OAK and BWI. Dallas for a new hire ain't gonna happen. DAL is far and away our most senior base. There is little to no growth down there, in fact in recent months the base has been shrinking. Unless and until the Wright Ammendment is lifted it would be a year or two minimum before a new hire could get into the big "D" and even then they would be sitting dead last on the seniority list. For the record, our crew bases are DAL, HOU, OAK, BWI, MDW, MCO, and PHX.

You might want to refer your friend the website linked below...it is an excellent resource for future SWA F/As.

I wasn't too far off, except for LAS. Thanks for the info!
