To a point, I think they fly less than we do, it's just their credit with their trip pay is through the roof. Or at least that's how I understand it. So I don't think they fly much more than 80-85 hours but get paid a relative fortune to do it.

Speaking of SWA does anyone know if a SWA 737 landed in ATL after being told to go around? Supposedly a FL jet was told to expedite from the runway and they exercised their option to do just the option. Tower told the 737 to go around and they said "we got it" and landed? And I believe ATL ATC waited until SWA cleared to runway to reenact a scene from Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.
I was wondering if it was just an urban legend.
