Flight Attendant Opportunities

[OlimpiaValencia]

Hello, Hope this note finds everyone well, and that this inquiry makes it to the right board for assistance. How many times a year does SWA accept applications for Flight Attendants in Oakland, Ca and San Jose, Ca locations? Any suggestions to receive notifications is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Southwest team!

I don't think you will find that answer....But here are some things you can do?

The last opening for a Flight Attendant job was 2/5/18 and now is closed.

"In order to remain consistent in our hiring practices and to be fair to all applicants, they only accept applications for a specific position, and only when the job listing is active on the Careers page."

The flight attendant positions would only be listed under the city of Dallas Texas, the Southwest Airlines main headquarters.

The best thing you can do is set up a profile to be notified when jobs become available here https://tinyurl.com/y8p82yya

Here is some info 

Q: Where will I be based after training?
A: Our current Flight Attendant bases are in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Orlando, Oakland and Phoenix. Bases are assigned during Initial training, dependent upon the operational needs of the Company and seniority within the training class.

Q: Will I be able to change bases during probation?
A: When a base opening becomes available (vacancies), they are awarded based upon Flight Attendant seniority under the collective bargaining agreement. There is no limit to how many times a Flight Attendant can bid to change bases, while on probation.

Q: How long will it take me to transfer to the base that I prefer?
A: It varies depending on the operational needs of the Company and Flight Attendant seniority. A transfer could occur within a year, or it could take much longer to be awarded a preferred base.

Q: Does Southwest Airlines pay for me to relocate to the base that I am assigned to?
A: Any relocation costs are at the Flight Attendants own expense.
Q: Will I be able to commute to the base I am assigned?
A: Commuting is allowed, but it is not encouraged. Southwest Flight Attendants have very strict attendance requirements and expectations. Also, keep in mind commuting takes time away from your personal life; your three-day trip into potentially five days of travel, while only getting paid for the three days of trip assignments.
