It's great that you are all solidly behind you're company, good luck. Talk to me in two years.

Flopgut said:But you ended up with SWA/FO? Come on, I know at least part of you would like to trade him.
I hope you guys dont take paycuts, I hope you raise fares! Well all take that 6 bucks, 10 bucks, whatever.
My question is this: How is this spike in pilot earnings going to be viewed by other employee groups? Um, what spike? Lets say SWA employee earnings plateau. Your other work groups are going to not want to miss the bus next time. I visited with some of your FAs the other day on the bus, they had to work pretty hard for the raise they got and each of them viewed the earnings package of our FAs as being better. Who is "your" FAs? Ours are well paid but you won't tell us where you work. Maybe the SWA Fa's were just being nice - our FAs are known for that. They know you guys earn a lot more than I do, I smell flame bait and they know they have had a lot more to do with SWA success than SWA pilots. I see a potential problem there.

Big Slick said:Also, I don't buy the argument that SWA captains are guaranteed more hours each month, so they make more. A legacy captain could choose to fly more each month too. But, there is this thing called QOL...... Don't compare apples to oranges.
