When we very reasonably make the case for SWA+ reasonable premiums (to account for significantly higher revenue generated per pilot compared to SWA) for small narrowbody planes and up from there, the compay will try and "counter" with "but we demand SWA productivity. We should counter their counter by saying "Yes! We agree! We will be happy to accept SWA daily credit via rigs or block time, however you want to work it, while also getting average SWA days off for lineholders and reserves at the narrowbody level and SWA average W-2's for small narrowbodys, plus reasonable premiums because we generate way more revenue per pilot, and up from there for larger planes.

If the company insists on sitting us 30 hours in hotels but then squeals about SWA productivity, throw that straw man right back in their lap.
