A buck? Cheap ass pilots. You're on!

Dick, I'll care about their money, effort, and time when they care about our stolen seniority.

Wow..just wow.. So sad.

Bill, your losing it buddy. You sound like Genny.

The raw numbers are what they are. You are obviously shocked we carry the same amount of passengers that Delta does....domestically and internationally. I understand that's embarrassing to your argument. You should have checked the numbers first. But.......you didn't.

Triple 7? Really? That's your argument? Who cares, I don't. You're right about the passenger count, and here's how it looks......

Here's your problem. Our -800's seat 175. Your 777 seats 291. That's barely a 100 passenger difference. So when your triple 7 flies 10hrs, we've flown the guppy two 5hr legs( 2 transcons) with a total passenger count of 350. Is the yield close the same? Probably.

A triple seven 15 hour flight? We've flown 525 passengers by the time you've touched down.

Rule number 1. You forgot we fly 3 thousand 5 hundred flights a day, everyday.

Rule number 2. You know passengers can't be counted twice. Did you do your homework this time? Doesn't look like it.

And you're flying that 800 for 300 wages, that helps the bottom line as well. Mgmt thanks you.

Then go to Delta...doosh.

You could get Atlanta and enjoy the double breasted blazer walk during your 3hr breaks...while making less.

I can get Atlanta, wear a blazer, and have sits over an hour at WN, what's your point?

Forgot the hat, I can wear that as well.

The point? It's real simple. Leave if you're so unhappy.

You're right, it's a tough call. Unfortunately, I'm too senior and too old to start over again, so I'll just spend my next 25 years paying it back (Lord willing and the creek don't rise, of course), bless your heart. I'm picking up this southern thing. I can't wait to get to the big DAL!

No worries Luv. After second thought, it's pretty funny to have a AirTran guy complaining about the SW payrates. Dallas is ready for ya'. Have fun. Hope you like Shiner.

This thread totally reminds me of this scene from Dr. Strangelove:

Starting a thread to "end divisive talk" on flightinfo - it's really asking for it.

No seriously, that's some funny sh/t an air tran guy talking smack about pay
Lolol

 

[Luv2BFlyin]

Funny, you guys mention pay. An RSW 20 year check airman just shared his last year's w2 (had a pic of it on his iPad), it was only about 25k more while working 2 more days a month and 1 more week of vacation. He was surprised and I wasn't impressed.

There is no US airline that pays more for the -800 than other 737 variants, so what's your point?

At SWA the -300, -500, -700 and -800 all pay more than every other passenger narrow body except the Delta 757. Our 737 pay is more than one heck of a lot of wide bodies out there. Life could be a lot worse, try and enjoy yourself.

Ah that is incorrect.
