There is nothing wrong with it....it would just be a large reduction in your rate and probably would come out even at the end. Do you really think it would happen? With the fact that EVERY SINGLE other airline at every segment of the industry pays the way we currently do? In my one mans humble opinion, despite how we feel about the merits of the concept, this change will not be made. It's probably never been discussed, so why are we? You guys will argue anything. If I suggested this, you would argue me the other way!
SWA doesn't pay their pilots the same way we currently do. Just saying.
