Do new SWA capts make over $200/hr.
Do New FDX 727 CAPTs make $200/hour?
Answer is ..................NO
Currently Upgrade to 737 CAPT at SWA and 727 CPAT at FDX is about the same.
+- 5 years. That could change for both of us.
I'll make you a wager. Look at the straight time Line guarantee of an AVG CAPT (narrow body) at both places.
The SWA Pilot will makes more take home and work 1 -2 less days to do it. I am not saying I want to work there but if you are going to make statments like that be ready to back them up.
We have many things that are better. A=Plan, B -plan and vacation. But Take home pay on the Narrow body ain't one of them.
