Read this before you rely on it. A certified filing is a legally binding wage attestation, but it records what an employer did, not a promise about what they will do next. Southwest Airlines Co. sponsoring last quarter does not guarantee it will sponsor your role or hire you. Published data lags by roughly a quarter. Sponsorship history is evidence, never a guarantee.

How to apply to Southwest Airlines Co.

  1. Target the roles they actually sponsor. Southwest Airlines Co. filed most often for Sr. Software Engineer in Dallas, TX. Match your search to the titles and cities above.
  2. Say you need sponsorship up front. Many applications ask; answer honestly. A history of filings means Southwest Airlines Co. has sponsored before, and knows the process.
