It is obviously hard to compare apples to oranges, but I would say SWA vacation would be valued, on average, to be about twice what DAL gets.
Accept it or not, and someone from SWA can weigh in, but I'm standing here with two SWA pilots who I know very well.
Basically what I am saying is there is plenty of ammo out there to provide leverage to improve our vacation system if the data is presented correctly. T says he thinks it's great and he's happy.
I think it's great for now, and compared to what it was in the past. I never said it couldn't be better. But for now.. yes I am happy. It's really too bad your world sucks so much that you cannot see some of the good things we have.
