Total including NEC overflow and one time 148k ratification bonus $640k
Fully filled 401k buckets which I did not count in the above total. I forget how much that is...72k? I am old, so I get the catch up.
CWA says my block in the last 365 is 690. I have been avoiding tactical sick calls for personal reasons, so only calling sick when I am sick. Normal yearly block around 600. Don't do reserve (commuter), my days per month depends on how hard I work. If I am crushing it (summer premium bonanza), I may work 15. Otherwise normally try to stick to 12-13 days. Take multiple long vacations a year by blowing holes in my schedule. I work to live, not the other way around.
I think SWA is largely what you make of it. I come to work, try to do a good job, make my little bubble a happy place, and go home. I am happy with the amount of effort I put in per dollar paid and my quality of life that allows me to travel and enjoy myself with my family while I am still relatively young. My last job involved flying long flights and sleeping on airplanes and I have zero desire to ever do that type of flying again as it did not agree with me the older I got.
