I also think that the avg NB Delta pilot flies very close to the number of actual hours that a SWA pilot does. I would guess within 5-6 hours a month or 60-72 hours per year. There is little to no credit in the domestic trips so what you fly is what you get.

I have a feeling that most would fly an extra 5-6 hours per month with an avg extra day or two "OFF" in order to make much more money.

International is a different story and skews the numbers when trying to make a good comparison.

In any event. I wholeheartedly agree that we need more soft money in the next contract. Leg-by-leg cnx pay, and 6+ hrs minimum calendar day pay for all pilots, and 75 hr min guarantee are a must for the next contract.

In fact with a 6:15 min day I could let the leg-by-leg cnx pay thing go.
