I am not sure where you are going, but SWA also has an hourly wage of 173.63 times 1.1393 for 12 year Captains. The difference is most of us (SWA) are not trying to pad our pay by engaging in activity that would cause an overfly. Different company and a different philosophy I guess.
20 years ago when I was on the 727 as a FE at Pan Am I was asked by the Captain to add 10 minutes (15 > 2 hours) to every flight. Since I was on probation I initially said okay. Then I thought about it and since the log book was used for pay records for all crewmembers (Flight attendants included). I handed the logbook to him and said "your fill it out, I am not going to falsify our flight times."

There was no argument from him just a chuckle from the guy in the right seat.
