Legs per Day - SWA - Just a data point

[Slug]

There is a ton of fun poked at the number of legs we fly at SWA. Here is a data point for ya'll to ponder.


Legs flown in 2007: 456 (860 block hours - 1.9 hours per leg)

Days worked: 148 (12.3333 days/month)

Average Legs/Day: 3.08


This doesn't include deadheads (although I probably had less than 10 this year)

For the General's sake, how many of those days ended with LBB overnights?

 

[Chest Rockwell]

All of them. At least that is what he will believe.

You just had to give him a reason to increase his post total! He'll be patting himself on the back when it hits 20000.:laugh:

wow 12.3 days per month?

Does that stat include vacation?

 

[Dr. Rumack]

Slug,

Your post does not mention your seniority. If you are near the top for your seat I would say you are making the point of those that poke fun.

How many weeks of vacation does that include?

I am at the bottom and I concur with Slug. I don't have the exact number but I do know I was off more than I worked. I also made more $$$ in my first year than after 7 in a regional.

Interesting fun with numbers...

I did 152 legs with 694 block hours.

Zero vacation but 6 weeks in training (went from MD88 to 767 otherwise my legs would have been six figures)

Average work month was 10 days of flying (high of 14 low of 9 ... never paid less then 73 hours in a month).

Also, zero overnights in LBB, but BHM sucks just as bad and I did many of those in my final months on the 88.

Keepin it real...

...I know this is fodder for Genital Lee, but yeah...I have to admit...I once flew an 8 leg day. Didn't even know we had those until I showed at the lounge that day...and to top it off, we held for 45 minutes on the last leg.

That having been said...I LUV this place!!!
