I get payed not in trips but ironically by a thing called “pay”. If my pay for a month is 130 you all say I am trampling my fellow pilots. Call it what you want but they can only fly 100 hours block in a rolling 30 days. If you are flying 150 trips at SWA you are working extra and you are working a lot. After all they could fly only 90 trips a month and how much would the make a year then. Yeah there are some games being played where guys are dropping their whole lines and only picking up “premium” every day and trust me there are guys playing some games hear and making a lot of money way more then me. SWA pilots for the most part work a lot and that is why they make a lot, its called math. They are productive and their company is profitable. Yes, they get more time off because their trips on the whole are more productive. I LIKE THEIR SCHEDULING RULES... I really do want them. If I can only show “pay” for a month at 85 then a SWA pilot can only fly 95 trips a month. Anymore then that and you are a company man costing your fellow pilots new hire jobs, greater seniority, and captain upgrades!
