I'll give it a try too
Baghdaddy--
Here's my quick gouge for SWA:
It's a pretty simple operation here.
--Pilots on reserve get 15 days off per month with a 2 hour call out. You will fly most days on reserve.
--Pay for reserve and line holders is 90-96 trips per month (80-84 hours).
--Hard lines have 16-20 days off per month. The bulk have 18 days off. With about a year's seniority you can easily have 17-18 days off per months.
--We fly AM and PM trips only which is great for your body clock. I haven't flown an AM trip in over 5 years.
--Duty days are 9-10 hours with 6:30-7:30 block per day. We have no trips over 4 days because we fly so much block time each day that a 5 day would be illegal. Most trips are 3 days.
--We will hire almost 600 pilots this year and 500+ per year for quite a while. Upgrade is running about 7 years and in my opinion will get longer as we grow.
If I left anything out please ask. Take care--
