What's with you man? SWA Captains make 230K per year ON AVERAGE! Our 737 Captains make FAR less than that, not just 10% less! I don't make that as a 744 Captain here. SWA guys do this working 12 days per month ON AVERAGE, and they have a Scope section that I would kill for!
10% increase in pay and status quo? Glad you only have one vote.
