[quote=mike734;289950]I can tell you that we fly airplane VERY differently. SW flys more legs and flys the airplane much more, how should I say this, casually. Our guys are much more methodical in the way we fly the 737. I'm not taking anything away from SW. They DO have the best safety record. I just think the style is different. It would really be something to see a SW guy and a ALK guy fly together. That said, we can all learn to adapt to other styles.
I do not think there is a big difference.... SW guys/gals have incentive to fly.... Paid by the trip! ALK pilots only have sick leave as a incentive!
