That it does, and the only airline in the US with better soft time rules than L-XJT is southwest. Do me a favor and divide your total flight pay last year by the amount of hours flown. Not sure your seniority, but as a 5 year FO mine comes out to $81.80 an hour. $49900 gross and 610 hours of flying. I've talked to an ASA guy with about my seniority on that side that made just under that and flew 850 hours. If you are making a soft time argument, you want our soft time rules. We could use an improvement in our trip/duty rigs, but everything else is beyond solid. Naturally, our goal should be to take our soft time rules minus trip/duty rigs.....those we should adopt what you guys have and even try to improve upon it some more. Just my .02
