What matters in this comparison is how much we make. (And, really, I think the comparison should be SWA 737 to Delta MD-88/90, based on the type of flying done and number of pax carried.) If the average SWA Captain is making more, then that's a relevant data point that could be used in helping to make the case for increasing/restoring our pay.

Don't get so lost in the MIT data, sailingfun. There's more to the story than that.
