I've been based in HOU and DAL and I've never even been to Amarillo.

I'm a little weird in that I don't mind the 300/500s....without them I don't have a job. Last week I had a 25 hour overnight in PUJ. I really need to learn some Spanish.....man.

Don't eat anything down there that isn't cooked. Seriously.
 
You can add about 5K to 6K to those figures for per diem. I know a lot of people don't call that money but I know that I only use about half on the road so it is something.

SWA is a fun place to work. Maybe not the best airline but I usually enjoy every trip I'm on. Not just the pilots but I enjoy the interaction with all the other employees.

Sure a 73 for life....but I honestly think it will still be here when I retire!
 
Southwest...

What can someone conservatively/realistically expect to make year 5?

Trying to sale the Wife on a change...

Thanks

You will know at the end of your career if you made the right choice, doesn't matter if the decision is to stay at NJ, or got to SWA you will not know until you hang t up if it was a good move.
 
Per Diem most certainly IS compensation.

I have never understood the flawed argument that it is not.

I guess the account I have with 10's of thousand's of tax free dollars is just a figment of my imagination?

Any of you who care to donate those worthless, non-compensatory, Tax Free, per diem dollars to my account please PM at your leisure.

Per diem is not compensation. It is reimbursement.

An over reimbursement IF you don't use it. Many eat healthy for less than $10/day (except ALPA management, that is.)
