NK and SC both have short upgrades and crap for pay. Both ALPA
But I can see some arguments for NK is more like SWA than SC, but not to the point where I need to get a clue if one disagreed.
Alaska is a "legacy", as is "Hawaiin". SWA pilots make more than both. Names, sizes & business models of Airlines don't really dictate pay.
There is NO reason, ZERO reason we shoutld not make UAL, DAL, AA pay. I'm sorry there is simply no reason in the Workd that will change My mind.
I don't care if Spirit was a Sh-thole airline that flew prisoners around in the late 90s. That's no longer the case.
JESUS H CHRIST, we are leading the Industry with our profits & growth. NO REASON to settle
