From what I hear, it happens more often than not and I'm not an anomaly. I'll figure out a way to talk the captain into letting me take a pic next time.
I know what I saw and your lack of belief means nothing to me. Just the fact that you are so quick to blow it off and claim me a liar just gives more credence to the story because you'd hate to admit the truth I shared. Keep living with your head in sand, GK Luvs you. SWAPull loves you as well, BTW.
"From what you hear"? That's rich.
So "claiming you a liar" gives you more credence? What will actually demonstrating it do? And BTW, what does not believing your rant have to do with having one's head in the sand? What kind of whack-ass deflection is that?
Let's see... You're claiming that he bragged about his W-2, which showed he made only $25k more than you for the year, right? And you're further claiming that he worked two more days per month more than you to do it; also right? Well, since SWA check airmen receive 7 tfp/month (almost $16k/year) above and beyond their other pay (just for being a check airman), that means you're
really claiming that he only made about $9k more for the year than you, for actually
flying, and that he worked 24 more days than you for that extra $9k.
Even if you were a >15 year, maxed-out, AirTran captain, that would have been $174/hr for 2013. A >12 year Southwest captain made about $190/tfp, or when corrected to an hourly rate, about $220/hr that same year.
Plus, Southwest schedules are much more efficient than Airtran's (more pay credit per average workday and per average pairing).
Still wondering why we don't believe your story? You're basically claiming that you averaged more dollars per flying workday than he did. And you claim you pulled this off at a much lower pay rate, and a much lower working efficiency rate.
While there certainly are valid things to complain about, you might try claiming something a little more believable next time. Just a thought.
