Whackmaster, Show us the math on how bad this is for the AirTran folks.Originally Posted by WHACKMASTER
You forgot to mention that SWAPA agreed to no overide whatsoever for ETOPS or international flying. What's the reasoning for that? I thought your contract was so fantastic that every AirTran pilot should thank their lucky stars, blah, blah, blah. Hell, we even have an overide. Not that I'd get a vote on it, but without international overide, the sideletter is a nonstarter. That's just ridiculous.
How does a 3 hour SWA domestic flight pay compare with a 3 hour AirTran international flight? How about a 2 hour flight?
Now add in the additional per diem on the SWA side and compare it to the AirTran pay for the same flight. Who makes more? Which paycheck is higher, AirTran with an international override or a SWA paycheck without?
No rhetoric. Show us the math.
