SWA yearly block time

[SWA/FO]

Hey network-queen, and anybody else interested...

As we just finished 2003 - I'm happy to report that my total block time was not 1000 hours as network-queen had previously stated that I (we LLCs) would have.

It was 846 (and I flew extra trips). If you convert to hourly pay, it is 99.30 an hour. Not Delta but not to bad for 2nd year pay... folks. Thats only a 70 hours a month average!!

At least I don't have to wear a double breasted coat and hat. Its all good, General Lee. Peace

How does that yearly block time compare with the real major airline guys out there?

Happy New Year!!!! Love ya

d@mn, how many days did you have off? not sitting on reserve, but actually home

so maybe Mr. Darby's gospel is true, and pilots are filthy rich and only work part time?
