How many hard hour does a SWA 737 Fo fly to make 180K?
Not trying to be mean, so I apologize if it came out that way. Your first sentence hit on what I was trying to say. You are used to a level of work. If it is 75.. 85... 90 hours a month, that has become comfortable for you. When the hourly rate goes up, I am willing to bet that that first month, you will NOT say.. 'hey, I am making 25% more, so I will work 25% less and make the same money..' but rather, you will bid the same line you did before, and when that bigger check comes in you will be more like 'wow.. look how much more I am making NOW' Then you are hooked. That will be the vast majority of guys out there. It is human nature.

SWA's compensation is too complicated for me to comment on. I really don't know how hard they really work for their money. If some of the rumors are true, they have a lot of credit time, so I don't know that they really work all that hard.. But I don't know, and I really don't care about them to an extent.
