If I go to the 717, I would probably make 25K less. Not really a scientific method, and I'm happy to stipulate that SWAPA, the in-house union to a company that founded it's business on "falling in love with employees and taking customers along for the ride", does well.

Can't we get some consensus around here on the basics? SWA does well. They have great Scope, which hasn't been tested all that much.
