Five bathroom villa with maids quarters in gated commumity = free.

All utilities = free (including gas for your outdoor BBQ)

Pvt education for kids free or heavily subsidized depending on school.

Chaufeur driven Volvo/Audi sedan to work = free

Universal family healthcare - almost free.

In-flight dining & service - top-notch. (I make sure I eat caviar, smoked salmon &fillet mignon at least once a week - coz it would be rude not to)

777 upgrade running at four years (for guys of my vintage that is. Today 7-8yrs)

BUT...drum roll...

...It aint Kansas over here.

Happy for now, but tip my hat to the boys at SWA

General Lee says that kind of flying was easy. Now I am confused.

Thanks for the chuckle. I found that pretty funny.

It's funny, a few years ago you guys where the bottom of the barrel as
far as pay and benefits.

Now, You seem to revel in every one else's problems.

Maybe that's why you never where hired by a "First Rate" airline.

A little humility, and an appreciation of the time others have put
into their careers would be in order.

No "Seat-Grab" Windfall.

I think that may be a bit of an exaggeration. "A few years ago" SWA pilots were not the industry leaders, but we also were not the "bottom of the barrel." There were plenty of other airlines that were far behind us....like AirTran. Now, we are the industry leaders, and have recently moved those rates even higher, all while keeping the tightest scope language in the industry. If that sounds like bragging, then I apologize....but that's the facts. It's what we've done for the profession lately. How about a little less dwelling in the past and a little more credit for recent events?

Now, You seem to revel in every one else's problems.

No, Gup was just making a valid observation and asking a valid question. Do you have an answer?

Maybe that's why you never where hired by a "First Rate" airline.

What is your definition of a "First Rate" airline? Do you presently work for a "First Rate" airline? If so, which one?

A little humility, and an appreciation of the time others have put
into their careers would be in order.

No "Seat-Grab" Windfall.

Again, Gup was just making a valid observation and asking a valid question. Do you have an answer?

You know how the east and west blowhards would turn every thread into a big east v west pissing contest that got so annoying the mods had to step in-

How about we not get to that point?
