Average SWA Captain: $234,436
Add company match of 9.3% and profit sharing of 8%...

Total compensation = $274,993.43

Average SWA pilot number of days off per month (which I'm assuming includes vacation and sick time): 18

Average Delta MD-88/90 Captain (at 80 hours/month... I'm including reserves here because SWA's stated average includes reserves): $186,009.60
Add company contribution of 14% and profit sharing of 4.5% (I think that's about right for our profit sharing?)...

Total compensation = $220,421.37

Average Delta pilot number of days off per month (which I'm assuming includes vacation and sick time): ??... but I'll bet it's fewer than 18.

The average SWA Captain smokes our average MD-88/90 Captain in total compensation by almost $55,000 AND works fewer days doing it! (and that doesn't include that SWA's basic medical plan is FREE)
