The only portion of the survey I have any knowledge of is some idea of where the pay raise numbers came in at. I have also heard that the overall cost per block hour numbers for 2011 especially between DAL and SWA will be surprising and not in our favor with openers being exchanged. We had a large amount of overtime flying in 2011 combined with the 4 percent raise moved the DAL number up quite a bit more then SW. We are not ahead of them but the difference narrowed a lot.[/QUOTE

Sailing,

Do you know if the MEC is using the corrected MIT data? There was a SW pilot on here a while ago who pointed out their average numbers were incorrect and even contacted someone at SW who verified the incorrect number of pilots was used in the data. Apparently the data had approximately 1000 too many pilots in it skewing the numbers artificially lower....
