PG;
SWA guys have posted their w-2 earnings here before. You are just trying to discredit Carl. IIRC, it was fairly easy for a SWA mid seniority FO to break 200K and a mid seniority Capt to break 300K. I have no idea if this has dried up with the absorbtion of AirTran.
Its a fairly small minority of DAL FOs that break $200K and many Capts don't either.
