Stop flying commuter jets into LGA. Nothing smaller then a DC-9-30 or B737-500. To many regional jets....its a joke, why waste a slot on that?
LGA kind of sucks anyway, not enough space to get really good taxi speed going - especially with the Delta colored rj's zipping around taking up just as much space as big airplanes. I remember listening to "JoKo" Kolshak in ATL about 7 seven years say they were just "temporarily" flying those mailine LGA (and many other) routes. Hmmm
Much easier to taxi in LBB btw...
The problem is you taxi a lot more in one day than DL pilots do. Get used to it Enjoy it.

And we make a lot more for less work...what is your point?

You do now, enjoy it while it lasts. I sincerely hope you do as it will help ALL of us in contract repair. Since the creation of luv, you have been at best middle of the pack or lower in pay, benefits, and workrules. You are at the top now not due to anything swapa has done, but more so bankruptcy judges and the ch11 process.
The problem is you taxi a lot more in one day than DL pilots do. Get used to it, no more 1 or 2 leg days----you will work hard the rest of your career. Yes, the pay will be good, but you will grow tired of ELP and MAF. Variety for you will be the blur of airport hotels and 25 min turns. Enjoy it.
Bye Bye--General Lee
Delta and Northwest pilots VOTED for what you guys have now. Take that crap and try it somebody that doesn't know the facts.
The key is voting in contracts that are sustainable for a profitable company.
Gup
Dude.... Chill out, I am not deltacentric like the general. Just stated some facts. I sincerely hope you are never in a position to have to make that VOTE as I have a sibling who is a capt. with y'all. More importantly with luv with your contract still more efficient than ours a paycut to our wages would put that much more pressure on us.
I would say that Southwest pay is on top now because Southwest is one airline that has been consistently profitable for the the last 30 years. Hard to keep you pay up when your company is losing alot of money and shrinking.You are at the top now not due to anything swapa has done, but more so bankruptcy judges and the ch11 process.
Yawn - same old stuff General. You need some new material. Just got back from my 3-day, 2 legs each day. Nice long 18 hours in San Diego. Same Holiday Inn by the bay as Delta btw.
I know you just fly Int'l and enjoy those $10 beers, but here in the USA Southwest hotels are as good if not better than MD-88 Delta hotels when I was there. Some cities we're at the same place. Only difference is SWA discount way better. Oh, and no more short MD-88 overnights. Most at least 15 hours. Maybe things have changed since so many of those cities I used to go to on the mad-dog went to your regional "partners" forever. Like ATL-Montreal! Still can't believe that is an rj.
Also, just like most pilots would rather not have all those 1-2 hour (or more) domestic DL turns/ATL lounge snooze that result in long duty days. Any duty day over 10 hours is a long day at SWA. Check with your domestic buds - or with your boy wonder Scope - and let us know the average mainline domestic duty day and layover time GL?
I know, standing by for how awesome your ER trips are, all about choices, we have great stews, etc. Same old gravy. Yawn again. Need more coffee.
Nice to hear from you again though...

Beers are 1 euro all the time on the beach in Malaga!I know you just fly Int'l and enjoy those $10 beers,
