3) AirTran pilots therefore will be making SWA pay which is higher than DAL pay for 747/777 A's, which is true if you you can believe APC numbers:
$210/hr for SWA x 78 hours (min pay) x 12 months is greater than DAL 747/777 $217/hr x 70 hours x 12 months.
Therefore: SWA 737 A $196K > DAL 747/777 A $182K.
So don't SWA pilots make more than our 747/777 A's?
You're making FAR too much sense tonight. I really haven't felt my expectations managed much until the "usual suspects" came out tonight. Jesus H. is it too much for our union guys to be on board with us and want to be paid at least as much as the LCC across the ramp (HINT HINT: IT AFFECTS YOUR PAY AS WELL! GET ON BOARD!!!)
