Are any Southwest Airlines employees on here that can provide some info on non-rev travel? I'm up for a role there and am curious as to whether as a non-rev traveler, I'm always going to be stuck in Group C and sitting in a middle seat. I used to work at American Airlines, and I assume that experience is completely different from SWA's as a non-rev traveler.

Hello all,

I’m a recent graduate of masters and currently have 2 offers in my hand.

1) One with CITI Bank with 100k salary and no sign on bonus and as it is in my home town as I stay with my family needs no relocation bonus required.

2) This is with American Airlines in Dallas Fort Worth which offered 100k + 10k bonus + 18k relocation bonus (required)

Which ofer should I consider given I’m a new graduate and this is going to be my first job. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi friends, I have a question for those who have taken a Qatar airways international flight out of Dallas, TX. I’m packing my parents bags and as usual they are overweight 😐. Do they weigh the carry on at the gate? They are taking a domestic flight to Dallas and getting on the international flight from there. American Airlines do not weigh the carry on but want to know if they weigh the carry on at the gate where they are taking the Qatar flight. Want to add a few extra pounds to the carry on 😬.

Anyone working for a major airline like Delta/American Airlines here could help me with some questions.
As a beginner do you actually make your 40hrs a week ?
Do you have to know how to swim for the 6 week training if your selected ?
Is it an enjoyable job worth a career change in your 40’s ?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone flown on Southwest recently for business travel? I live by a hub for American Airlines, I travel frequently for work, & I’m up to Platinum status. The travel agency my employer uses used to exclude all discount airlines but recently added Southwest. Since the travel policy is based on the lowest price airfare available (regardless of stops/time/etc), we’re being forced to book Southwest instead of American. I am not happy about this. My previous experiences with Southwest were awful.
