Pay Comparison Misnomer

SWA is my 4th airline. Q of L is better here than anywhere..trust me

You list AD, F9, HP, WN. Is AD Aspen Mountain Air?

While it is a sampling of various airlines, it's not the most comprehensive list in the world, and by no means does it make you an authority to say that Q of L is better there than anywhere. How do you know it's better at Southwest than at JetBlue?

Face it, you f up!! You move on and so does life! Be glad you were able to get on AD.

In this business, you never know if you made the right choice until the day that you retire. Even then, you usually don't know with any certitude.

Pay? Obviously it wasn't the key since I applied to SWA in 2000.

737? Didn't care, at any airline I'm in a seat looking out a window. Behind the cockpit door is not important to me.

Domestic? Hotel is a hotel, it's still away from home.

The number one reason I wanted to work at Southwest was the culture, and it is still incredible. I still enjoy going to work more than any other previous job and even most of the 15+ year Captains I fly with still feel that way. Unfortunately they like it so much that they don't want to leave, ever. If someone is applying to Southwest because it has higher payrates think again. No one can guarantee our pay past September of this year.

Dude, don't let the AME know that. He may not renew your medical.

AD was actually Lone Star Airlines. They were bought by a conglomerate in Aspen and partially changed the name to Aspen Moutain Air. I know cause I worked there.

Ah, yes. I see that from this website: http://www.ruidoso.net/reservations/lonestar.htm

Daily flights to Del Rio, TX. Yep, that'd be an airline that I'd use as a gold standard for QOL in the aviation industry.

But I guess anyone that was able to make $15K in a month as an FO at Southwest must know what he's talking about.

You can stay at home and sit on your ass all month or fly alot and collect $15k a month. I've done both as an FO @ SWA.
