Wow. Do you really believe what you write?
According to SWAPA, the average SWA Captain makes $234,436 working an average of 12 days per month (I'm assuming that includes days off for vacation and sick time). Doesn't sound to me like they're flying a lot more than our domestic narrowbody pilots. If anything, they're flying less. And making way more.
You can site all the extreme examples you want. But the average is the average. Should be obvious to all but the most biased observers that we are still far below SWA pilots in terms of pay versus number of days worked.
What happened to you, ACL?
