Atlas has been posting the first officer position openings on Climb350 on a daily basis. They must be having trouble finding good applicants. You would think with the thousands of applications they have on file they could work off those. So what changes would be in the new contract?

No Overtime? BS, he's working the system, Hard! 4 year FO's at UPS have to put forth a little effort to top that, and they get paid way more than a SWA FO.

A 4th year FO making 14K a month with no overtime? That seems highly unlikely. SWA pays per trip, not per hour but if you convert the trips to an hourly wage it comes to about $115/hour for a 4-year FO. So, if your friend is making $14K/month then he's working what equates to around 120 hours a month. That's serious overtime. I believe SWA's guarantee is equivalent to 78-79 hours/month. So, either he's working the system big time or else he has exaggerated his monthly income. At $14K/month without OT, that comes to $168K a year. I don't know any airline that pays FO's that well.

Agreed....typical SWA hyperbole

But, I guess that depends on your definition of an "airline".
