Let's also not forget all of the DL pilots who spend a month or two in training to transition aircraft every year. That no doubt waters down the average number of hrs flown per pilot. It was mgt's decision to have so many types on property and should thus deal with the costs.
WN pilots have traditionally, up until their merger goes through, gone to training twice in a 30+ yr career. Once as a new hire and again to upgrade if they choose to do so. Recurrent training not withstanding, obviously.
