That's not BS. I don't know why you are trying to insinuate otherwise.

I dont even know why we are salivating over SWA pay. We need to aim much higher. This airline environment we are in is "ripe" for making tons of $$$$. If our managers' aren't capable of taking advantage of this arena, they should be fired. Pilot pay/labor has never effected revenue creation or company financials, contrary to what MNGMT 101 sells.
We are worth much more than we think, especially with this "lurking" pilot shortage
