Could this be the start of the END of Southwest Airlines?

[Whataburger]

Are you kidding me? I got on in 96, back when SWA was still a true LCC, and when their Captains were looking everywhere to leave. Many left SWA pre-9-11 for United and other places. Back then it was known as a stepping stone to the Majors, and after your merger is complete, it may return to a stepping stone as OYS points out. Anyone on the bottom of SWA after the merger will be sitting in that seat for years and years, with a poor QOL for sure. Great pay, bad lifestyle.

Were any pilots leaving Delta when it was only around for 20 years? Yall still had cropdusters didn't you?

BTW:

SWA 12 year FO - $147/hr

DAL 12 year B767 FO - $124/hr (ouch!)

I might not get Rio layovers, but $23/hr more says I can find some Rio food in my city. $23 x 90credit x 12mos = $24,840/year to tolerate the un-sexiness of LBB. I'm in.

BTW, I don't think LBB is un-sexy. I would take LBB/LBB 3days all month. And that would give me my 90hrs and 18days off.

To each their own. Congrats on 3Q profits.

Oh please.......

Your mother says your grilled cheese is ready.

I bet she still cuts it in 4 equal squares instead of straight across or diagonal. I can see it now:

The General smells burnt grilled cheese, pauses SuperMario and comes up from the basement with his orange penis (reference Cheetos), Zuba pants on, nunchucks over his shoulder, a chinese star stuck in the wall of his dark brown wood paneled dining room, a mother of pearl colored wife-beater covered by his double breasted sub commander Delta jacket, and his 15 year old FO hat on at the dinner table. In his lap as dinner is served are his two gerbils named Anderson and Grinstein.

Mom at table:

"I am sure glad your wife was drunk the night she married you. It's ironic an Accountant married someone that has stayed with a company that is financially Fu<ked-up as a football bat. Ketchup with your grilled cheese, honey? Do Anderson and Grinstein need more butter?"

I thought the international guys got international override and higher per diem? And we also have the ability to move up an aircraft if you want, so maybe Lee can hold 764, A330, or 777 FO? That would narrow the gap quite a bit. I think the A330/764 pays $20 more per hour, and then add $4 an hour for the override, so that would mean he could get paid more, and see cooler
places than LBB if he wanted to. Look it up on APC. Add the gains in the next contract and it won't be close.



Godspeed!

I could do some higher level math that shows we average 107-115 credit/mo but won't.

So, therefore, congrats on keeping your B747, B777, B767 international rates up with our B737 rates. Nice job!!

I thought I left you in the toilet? Looks like you survived in the sewers, and eventually reunited with your fellow rats at your current workplace. Good for you, son!

Hate to say this but my pilot group is forced to take a sub-par deal or face the demise of our families livelihood

Thanks "bro."

Six,

Yes, I could hold line holder on the 764 (we call it the 765) in ATL, and the A330 now that it is here too. I would be a bottom line holder on the 777, but mainly doing Dubai and Johanesberg, and not much else on that one. I am fairly senior on the 767ER in ATL, and I enjoy the variety of destinations I can hold, plus I get greenslips about every other month. I am still looking for a line holder position in ATL on the 737NG (73N) as a Captain, and maybe I'll get it in a couple years. In the meantime, I am enjoying where I am and where I fly.
