Yup. For all airlines. Our formula, and historic payouts, lead the industry.

Or we could look at our compensation, as in W2. A bottom line value. For hours flown last year by peers, who do you suppose had the highest W2 for hours flown?

Except you ignored the note in the Contract Comparison explaining the 5:39 ADG. You also chose to ignore the impact of FAR117 on the "potential" ADG at SWA. Ignoring them is ok, but they don't go away - or cease to relevant when making comparisons.

Ok. So if we trade our augmentation triggers to match the rest of the industry, you'll be cool with it? You won't point out where we had been leading the industry in augmentation (and widebody staffing)? Something tells me you wouldn't be calling it "debatable".
