The following are a series of articles that are prepared by Unisys in their analysis of the airline industry. While some of the analysis isn't not as current as one would like, others include figures for '03. Enjoy.
Comparisons of Legend Carriers Advertising Levels
Comparison of USAir & United after Ch11 with SWA
(not trying to slam USAir or United, I wish all of their pilots well & if you're offended by my article posting then my apologies)
Analysis of Major Airline 2002 Financial Results
There are several older articles referencing SWA that are interesting but with the changing financial & operational status of the other carriers the comparisons are probably no longer valid.
As has been posted on several other threads the hiring trend for SWA will be continuing. No one truly knows the FULL picture on hiring, certainly not me or others who post on here. I realize many of you use this board as a source of information but please don't make significant life choices based upon what is posted on here. It will require much more homework than merely referencing a public forum like this. I've been rather quiet lately due to flying my tail off in Oct (nearly 100 hrs) so my apologies for not posting more info. There is a lot out there & I will provide some of that in the near future. For the poolies the time is closer but until you get the phone call from the PD don't count on anything for sure (as has been said many times over & over). Cheers & God Bless,
