I am a hardcore AMer and am starting to think that many on this forum must be PMers. I do think there is a difference there. PM seems subject to more delays and reroutes. I have been here 7 years and have only been JAd maybe 4 times.
If you really want to know how life here is - this is not the place to ask.
I think this is the perfect place to ask about work life balance and quality of life.
Fyi- We aren't on here complaining, we are ****ed off that our once great company has turned into such a dumpster fire.
I think our Strike Authorization Vote speaks for its self concerning our work life balance and quality of life on the road: 98% of our pilots voted 99.16% in favor of a Strike Authorization should tell everyone reading this how messed up Southwest has become.
Only 4 JA's for you in 7 years, Thats great, you're also flying Am's and working week days I presume? No 1221 warn notice for you either. You probably didn't even have to work over Christmas? I worked Christmas and had a Double JA. At SWA most of the JA's and JA RONs occur on weekends and hit the more junior pilots, the ones reading this thread trying to make an informed decision if this is where they want to work for the next +30 years.
And this is also coming from a guy who had a great corporate gig.
