SWA Hiring...

[General Lee]

Actually that's what makes LESS money for legacy pilots. To use the airline you claim you currently work for, the only airframes that pay more than our 737's are: 747-400, 777-200LR, 777, A330-300, A330-200, 767-400ER, which totals 87 airframes or 12% of the 719 in the fleet. So, if you are currently flying the DC9, 737-700, A319, MD88, A320, MD90, 737-800, 757-200, 757-300, 767-300 you are doing so for a lower hourly rate than every Southwest pilot flying every Southwest airplane. You don't need to continually head to the schoolhouse and bust your ass to make a higher pay rate. You aren't required to continually base hop to follow wherever the 12% of the fleet that pays a higher wage is located as opposed to every aircraft deployed at every domicile at SWA.

Disclaimer: Figures based on current pay rates and fleet numbers listed on APC.

Yeah, but you still are awaiting your next contract talks, and GK seems hell bent on going back to LCC status. And Howie, you forgot the INTL override and higher perdiem for the 757 and 767s, which actually bring the pay higher than yours on your 737. Any INTL flight, including Hawaii, means the INTL override is added. You don't know that because you guys don't do INTL....

Also, with 4000 pilots leaving within 5 years (2020-2024), there will be lateral moves to larger equipement, plus vertical moves from FO to Capt. A 737 FO getting paid less than your rate has choices to move up and make more on bigger planes, or if he is senior in his seat he could move to the left seat of the 717 and make more than your 737FOs. Plenty of choices.

SW F/O left for Spirit, what does that tell you.

Five year Spirit Captain makes more than senior SW F/O.

Spirit upgrade dropping to 3-4 years.

Don't tell Redflyer or ScoreboardII, they won't believe you, and tell you that you are going to HELL!

You answering from Europe again on another Southwest thread. You have very little idea of what goes on at Delta, much less SW. Time to log back on to Microsoft Flight Simulator. The ATC simulated controller has just cleared you to taxi behind the two Delta Connection 900's taxing from the left. Haha.

He has no idea. He's not a DL pilot, as I have proven on another thread, and just acknowledging this doosh just gives him human rights, neither of which (s)he deserves!

Gutsiest move I ever saw, Mav.

 

[Kermit_D_Frog]

Lets see the link to S/W FO going to Spirit. That's crazy.

 

[scoreboardII]

6000 plus, I can wager some will decide to move on. Best of luck to all, but that's a one way move.

Off to an airline not hiring.

Who makes up this crap.....

More importantly, what morons buys into this crap......

He may have been lying....after all he is a Southwest pilot. Have DL hired any pilots since the AirTran ingestion?

Funny stuff old coot. He proved I didn't know EXACTLY how many people per class were hired AFTER me.... Yeah, everyone knows those numbers. I have proven, just by looking at Coot 11's posts, that he is an old cranky idiot that will hopefully retire in a couple years.

Hi Red, I do 3 day trips this month, and as I stated earlier I usually fly out on Mon or Tues, which would mean I'm already back. You may very well be in West Texas on a layover, actually puking in your La Quinta toilet after eating another bad quesadilla. When will you learn? You've gotta bid some Akron or Flint layovers to try something different.... Good luck Red!

Genital:
You do 3 guys a month and call that flying? Nice. Next time down on your knees, remember, that all the men love you because you're such a "cool dude."
When pretending to be a pilot, just continue to tell yourself----> I'm a pilot for DL while putting on your pretend uniform with matching ladies underwear! Rock on midget!

Coot,

Do you ever forget where you are? Sounds like it. You mixed up flight planning procedures at our two most popular destinations in Europe due to our JV. You totally mixed them up, which means you are mixed up, or lying on what you do. You are probably just guessing, and your above nasty post just shows your desperation. Wow, you really do appear old and clueless.

I pray that DL hires every tranny that wants to go...

Don't just limit it to DL

UAL, AA, too
