How? I can think of plenty of examples of miserable SWA having nothing good to say about where they work on an offline DH. Or former coworkers who were hired onto SWA and now want to leave “unless the contract is amazing” but I’m at least keeping it factual.

I already mentioned SWA blows away AS for scheduling flexibility and efficiency and either spot being a perfectly fine place to work. It’s nice to have choices. At this point it’s quite the stretch to say SWA is anything but dragging the industry down on pay. I don’t know about you but the reason I go to work is pay. I hope for everyone in the industry things change for the better at SWA and the pilot group is at least paid in line with their peers. As far as extra pay for working hard, best of luck. I doubt the executives will go there willingly.
