DELTA vs SWA from another thread....

[General Lee]

How do you know he will get tired of SWA? Do you know who I am talking about?

Well, if he is the guy I know, he recently said to me "they work us like dogs." But not everyone probably feels that way. I bet some really love the 737, for the rest of their career. Great. Good for them.

I have flown a couple a 7leg day, a couple 6leg days, some 5 leg days, tons of 4 leg days, some 3leg days, and some 2leg days. I can honestly say that I have NEVER ended a day or a trip exhausted. This job is not rocket surgery. Checklist, push, fly, land, checklist, and repeat. I have flown with 20-25 year guys that are 55-59 and have NEVER heard one say he/she has been exhausted. At the end of the 4-5leg days I find myself saying, "Where'd the day go?" It goes very quickly. It's not for everyone, but it's for me because I dont mind work, I enjoy actuallyflying, and I enjoy working with people who want to be at work and enjoy it also.
I found international flying terribly boring. It's as braindead as any flying except for your ears have to be better to understand the way the rest of the world speaks English. -position report, sit for 1hr, postion report, sit for an hour, repeat. Go out after napping 'til noon, walk around in a daze around London, eat some overpriced fish and chips, sleep, come home.
And finally, if ya dont wanna work for your money, dont come here.

Two questions: How old are you and how long have you been doing this for SWA?

Those beginning with SWA now will not be flying the B-737 at the end of their career.

Within this year SWA will announce an order for B-787's. You heard it here first.

How about I don't, but I will give you my credit card numbers and my soc security number while I am at it.......

Six legs a day. Oh, and we will be getting Space Shuttles at DL.

General,

I choose to work hard. When I'm at work I want to hump it so that I get my ass home to my family and to be a husband and dad. That means I often fly trips with 3, 4 or even sometimes 5 or 6 legs a day. My overnights are NEVER shorter than 12 hours. A very average overnight is 14 or 15 hours. The 4 day trip I flew last week flew 27 hours and paid me $3510. Plus per diem. I do that 4 times this month and I'm DONE.

Why would I want to work fewer hours a day which translates to more workdays per month?

You are so full of yourself it's amusing. Rant on all you want about "rumors" and "big ideas" at Delta. I believe things when I see it parked on the ramp or see the deposit in the bank.

It's obvious that your International Airline Pilot identification is very important to you. Good for ya. I want to be known as a good guy that loves his family and oh by the way flies airplanes for a living. Enjoy Athens. While your on your crew rest schmoozing some dude in first class that could give a crap about your International Airline Pilot identification this weekend I'll be fishin' with my kids.

Gup

You can't afford a Space Shuttle when most of your cash flow is going to service your debt that you still have that wasn't axed in BK.
