Anyone seen that new SWA TV commercial about pulling over a plane?

It's easy to credit 110-120 trips a month and still get a ton of time at home. Big pay and plenty of time off..

No nine day trips required. Ouch...

How much do you think a 9 day trip or 12 day trip is worth at Delta anyway? Didn't Lee say his 9 day was worth 63 hours? That's pretty good. Sounds like a lot more days off in a row if you take one of those big trips. I bet the 12 day trips are senior for guys who commute. One commute a month would be nice.

Johnsonrod,

Your man love for the general is kinda creepy!!!

Are you jealous? Sounds like it. Were you in the Military? Maybe you like the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. Sorry to disappoint you, but no, no manlove for the General. Maybe you think that way, but not me. He does make me laugh though, especially with these Southwest slams.

Speaking of the General, how many days off did he say a pilot on reserve at DAL has?

I think he said 10 or 11.

Gup

Great banter. The number of days off is 12 or 13, depending on the month. Reserve is long call--12 hour call out minimum--unless converted to short. I've averaged about 30% of my reserve days long call, sitting at home even though I don't live in base, in additon to those 12 or 13. Its been pretty good.

Hey, but you got Paris right?

So, you're sitting 12hr callout at home. For discussion sake, we'll say St. Louis, MO. You get called at 8pm. Can you get to base by 8am?

You seem to have a real hang-up with military people. Did you "ask" then "tell" at one time?

Not sure about St Louis. My city pair--yes... Is SWA's long call similar?
