Thunder speaks the truth. 2'nd yr at SWA and I have no trouble clearing 110-115tfp EVERY month. I saw classmates (who live in base) on 1'st year pay doing 120-130tfp regularly. My best month during first year was over 140tfp (17 days flying). Everybody has a "guy I know at xyz" carrier that makes $$$. The difference is that anyone at swa can do 120+ in almost any month if they want to. I expect to clear at least $140k total compensation this year which will work out to 15-16 days a month tops.
As far as they type going away, it's about time. I believe it will still be very competitive this year. There were around 4000 qualified applications for 400 spots last year. Around 3000 of those were typed. The difference this year is that out of those 4000, probably 1500-2000 got hired somewhere else. I talk to my buds hired at Delta regularly and have no regrets coming here.
