Did you know Southwest is making 258 an hour plus 14.2 percent plus a nice 11.3 percent profit sharing check? Huh. They are so lucky they were just given that...
You do know SWA wasn’t doing this back in the 90s when they were trying to grow. ( they did have stock options and profit sharing. They had a better management team that cared). Their pay was at the bottom or close to the bottom of the industry. So you can’t compare Spirit to SWA right now. SWA 700 planes, 9200 pilots, Spirit 115 planes around 2000 pilots. Would I like more, hell ya, but I know this place needs to grow and I believe this is the best we can achieve right now. It’s not worth me to lose the LTD, Scope, DC, and pay raise to wait for who knows how long and who knows for how much more? Maybe it goes the other way and we could actually lose some of these gains, no one knows. You willing to gamble on that?
Plus if you want SWA pay and benefits they are hiring around 750 this year.
