Add to that the fact that every SWA captain makes the top money (as opposed to Delta where top pay only applies to 34 out of 722 airplanes) and anyone can clearly see SWA pilots make a great deal more than Delta pilots.
That era is still alive and well PG. SWA pilots make much, much more than Delta pilots.

Another Carl deflection. We all know a few guys making tons of money. Hourly rates is an apples to apples comparison. If one guy works 50% more hours to earn 50% more pay, I don't consider that an industry leading contract.
