It’s nice to go last when other airlines change the market for you.
And a contract is much more than a pay rate. I’d bet my entire 401k that block hour for block hour, pilots at Delta make substantially more than those at SWA, even with their new “industry leading” rates.
And make no mistake, I’m very happy for them and pleased they held out long enough to end up where they did. But context matters a lot, and I highly doubt there are many 737 pilots at Delta who would trade places with a SWA pilot.
