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 !

How is the experience with flying standy as a southwest airline employee? I understand that it is best to fly on weekdays and on non holidays. Any advice or tips on planning ahead for flying standby with kids? Anyone here has had any experiences with flying standby with kids? Are we able to see ahead of time how many seats are available prior to the flight departure ? Thank you in advance for anyone with answers or advice.

Thank you so much for the info ! I'm excited to get started on my training and start putting in the work. I will most likely put my kids in daycare when I get the morning shifts for the first few weeks of training.
(Hoping everything works out and hoping for the best !)

Hello everyone !
I recently just got hired in for a Ramp Agent in Austin Texas. I am currently in the hiring process doing my drug test, fingerprints and background check. I would just like to ask if anyone here knows that the typical or usual hour are for a ramp agent here in Austin Texas? What time does a shift start and end typically?
Reason I ask is because I am worried working early mornings due to having to drop my kids to school and daycare. I've been seeing in the other conversations in the forum that morning start at 4:30am. I know that as new hires we do not have any control to choose our availability due to seniority and we get what they give us. Will it be possible to request for an afternoon shift just so I have enough time to drop my kids to daycare and school?
Has anybody here been in this situation? Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you !
