The average line credit for all bases in July is 98.82 at SWA. What is the average line credit at AirTran in July? If that has gone down, what would your best guess be of average line credit have been pre-acquisition? That seems like it would be an accurate estimate of the average take home pay. I'm not trying to say that an AT CA will make more as an SWA FO, because I doubt that they will, but I speculate that they are at least in the same ballpark.
