Really senior captains at SWA can barely work if they really want to. 5 weeks of vacation (essentially two and a half months off) plus the ability to bid turns and two days and pick up and giveaway at will yields a lot of flexibility.
A lot of those guys are on a planned sick leave burndown plan as well. If you fly island turns, you will fly with one of them eventually. They barely come to work.
Now, that being said, there are plenty of guys on the third divorce payoff plan as well working their butts off.
