Yes, I was using reserve rates at min guarantee. The SWA pay system is foreign not to mention gaming the system on top of that is really too much for my small brain to handle.
I completely believe the $230K number but I don't how to quantify it back to us because I don't know our averages here when you count WSing, GSing, trip parking and so forth. I'd be interested in throwing out the top and bottom percentile and seeing what the median comes out to be at both carriers.
So would a 30-40% raise of hourly rates end up creating an average of $230K at DAL since it seems as if there are many pilots who, like maybe SWA pilots, know how to get high credit for given amount of flight hours.
I just didn't know how to quantify it so I've been using the lower % increase.
