TSA shift schedule at Chicago Midway Airport
The hours, the tours and how the days off are decided for TSA officers at MDW — taken from the agency’s own airport fact sheet, not from a jobs board.
TSA publishes a fact sheet for every airport it screens, and it sets out the tours worked at that one. Here is what MDW publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet states "20 hours per week tour of duty" and that "Part-time employees start at 20 hours per week but may work up to 32 hours weekly". The airport "maintains a 24 hours a day, seven days per week flight schedule" with peak times of 4 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. A part-time contract at Midway is a floor, not a ceiling: the sheet says the week starts at 20 hours and can reach 32. That is the difference between a second job and most of a first one, and the sheet does not say what decides it. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.
