Just like it make no sense to look at DL WB pay, it does not make sense to say SWA pilots deserve more because they work in an old cockpit. No, you didn't say that directly, but saying nobody is leaving F9 to get almost twice as much at SWA is almost as bad. FYI, average is 2.5 legs per day, 14 duty days per month for line holders at SWA. That is 35 legs per month on average (and around 700 block per year)
