The search results indicate that Southwest Airlines does offer part-time and remote roles, and their culture emphasizes employee care, LUV (fun-loving attitude), Warrior Spirit, and Servant's Heart. They provide competitive benefits even for part-time employees, including travel benefits.
Regarding the "$25/hour" rate:
- ZipRecruiter shows a range of "$16-$45/hr" for Data Entry Southwest Airlines jobs, with an average around $19.47/hour. It also indicates that $25.48 is the 90th percentile.
- Payscale shows an average hourly rate for Southwest Airlines Co employees as $25.12/hour, though specific job titles like "Customer Service Agent" are lower (around $17-$18/hour average). "Human Resources" roles can reach $25-$27/hour.
- One ZipRecruiter ad for "Community Health Worker/Parent Educator" (not directly data entry but involving it) lists $22-$25/hour for a Southwest non-airline entity.
Given this, $25/hour is at the higher end for typical entry-level data entry but is within the plausible range for roles that might involve data entry at Southwest, especially if they are specialized or require more experience or responsibility (e.g., HR-related data entry, or roles that combine data entry with other administrative or analytical tasks). It's not completely unreasonable, but it's important to frame it as a competitive rate within their pay scale. I will include it as requested, acknowledging it's a strong competitive rate.
