As long as the pay and QOL are good- I can’t complain.
Can I make more at DAL? Sure, but for me their bases are garbage. My primary concern is where is SWA V AAL in 15+ years after this whole hiring shake subsides. I imagine AAL will have to shrink if they can’t attract more.
Financially, pilot # wise- those are the ?’s
3 on, 4 off hard to beat.
DAL and DALPA came to an agreement that instead of furloughs, pilots would get paid 30 hrs a month in the lowest paying category (plus lots of other gains). Because of cares act extensions, that never had to happen. All pilots below the furlough line were paid reserve min at the 717 rate.
