SWA schedules/QOL vs AAI

[General Lee]

I do them all the time, and it allows fir a commute when I get to base in the morning. Lee probably does them going over to Europe or both ways to South Anerica. You will love them, with Ty as your Captain. When is that SLI anyway for you guys? Popcorn is ready.


OYS

Six,

I do fly them when I go to Europe, and South towards Rio, but I have another FO also there to fly and allow me to sleep and/or enjoy a movie and great meal. Eventually you will be able to that, and Tripower will LUV those LAX to MKE allnighters, along with new service to Bloomington. If he is as junior as we think, he will be doing a lot of those too, but your advantage is upcoming retirements. He will have 22 year old Airtran pilots pile in on top of him for his SLI. He will like Millwaukee.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Talking to yourself again!

You are acting like a weiner, the official from NY, probably. Have fun doing allnighters to MKE. It will happen for you.


Bye Bye--General Lee

[FONT=&quot]No kidding! I just opened a thread titled "SWA schedules/QOL vs AAI" and the two Delto morons are providing input. WTF? Why must they continue to show up on every thread? Even this one so blatantly titled as is[FONT=&quot].[/FONT][/FONT]

You mean the one high school student, pretending to be 2 Delta pilots.

 

[SWA/FO]

both ways

Am I hearing this right? Lee goes both ways???

They ain't Delta, and there ain't two of 'em.

How come SWA hardly has any commutable trips?

How come SWA hardly has any commutable trips?

I can't speak for why- but I'm grateful- I've never been healthier since joining the airlines... FAs do have some.

Not me! I put both of them on my ignore list.

Yes, but you will be a lot junior to him after your SLI. The last few SLI arbitration awards did not take higher pay into account.

This isn't an SLI thread.

This is a calm discourse comparing work schedules and related items and I'm enjoying have a nice discourse with my future coworkers.

Please take your SLI comments back to an SLI thread.

Thanks in advance.

SWA runs an AM/PM schedule. For an AM line, you will most likely have to show too early to commute. For a PM line, you will most likely arrive back in base after your last commute flight leaves. You'll generally have to get a hotel either on the front side (AM) or backside (PM). Or you can move to one of our great domiciles!

Except for a few charters, SWA does not fly red-eyes. I'm thankful. If you've done that kind of flying, you know it isn't all the GL makes it out to be. Do your trip, be prductive get home "in sync."

In addition to the am/pm thing, I believe it has to do with utilization and efficiency of the pilots. The commutable lines don't pay nearly as well; hence they are not built in great numbers.

I commute out of BNA. Every month I look at the commutable lines. There will be one line with 3 weeks commutable, 3 lines with one week commutable; and that's it. I still look, but usually, it is LGA and EWR overnites on the second day (of a 3-day) that are the only commutables.

I am a junior F/O in my domicile. For July I work no weekends and have 16 days off for 92 TFP. My monthly pay is roughly the same as a 7 year capt at AAI working a 70 hour line.

If you really want to have a valid discussion about the lines at the two companies, why compare your July line with our absolute minimum guarantee?

PS., I was always taught that it was rude to discuss one's pay. I understand the context, but some of you guys act like your whole self-worth depends on your W-2, when everyone else knows it's the size of your schlong that really matters. :laugh:

 

[madjack]

size of w2 may count in SLI negotiations/arbitration...

 

[funnyman12]

Possibly.....But at Airtran you have to work on getting your pay credit less than 85 hrs/month (Slow months still average 77 hours) by swapping and dropping. I'm as lazy as they get and I still end up with 78-80 hrs this summer. 8 yr captain at Airtran is $149/hr and 8 year SW fo is $120/trip ($139/hr). So 92 TFP is the equivalent to approx 81 hrs block. If we were calculating our trips with TFP rather than block hours a 3 day would average approx 21 hours and a 4 day 26 hours. Obviously SW pay is MUCH better and more efficient BUT the difference between us is a little less than some may think. It can get confusing comparing TFP to hourly pay.

So will schlong size. :laugh:
