Earlier this week, the Southwest Airlines Implementation Team deployed the last automated pay elements in accordance with Contract 2024. Effective March 8, 2025, Late Return Override (LRO) and Last Day Late Premium (LDLP) will no longer be added to your compensation through a manual audit. While it took a little longer to automate these two premiums, we are excited to finally have our new contractual premiums, which are paid above RIGs, applied to our pay as intended.

Contract 2024 included multiple new pay components to protect our time on duty, especially during IROPs. Initially, these pay components were a manual process for Inflight Payroll Audit. Over the past 10 months, SWA Inflight Technology has focused on moving from a manual process to automating these pay components. As of this week, the final two pay components, Last Day Late Premium (LDLP) and Late Return Override (LRO) have been automated. Let’s take a look at what this means for us and what to look for on our Payroll Reports.

Spring is almost here (allegedly)! With spring comes seasonal allergies, Spring Break, and the introduction of more weather disturbances, including thunderstorms, flash floods, and tornadoes. This week’s Education Committee Fast Fact Friday (FFF) empowers our Members with contractual reminders about when the operation goes awry and Flight Attendants experience unscheduled overnights or being stranded. Contract 2024 introduced new language, so while we work our way into warmer weather (again, allegedly), let’s make sure we know all options afforded in our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Also included in this email are updates and reminders pertinent to our everyday lives, both at work and home.

This language was enhanced and improved upon in Contract 2024 to provide more options and further protect our time. Here’s a few important points to know for when/if you are ever stranded or sent on an unscheduled overnight.
