We do work hard at SWA. I recently finished a 4 day with 20 legs. With our turn times the duty days are not so bad and because of our current pay rate it was worth it. Most of our flying mixes in some longer legs so there are not too many of those 4 days (there are some though with even more legs). Can you say, it is all about seniority? Again, it must be the water because I still enjoy coming to work.

As far as your comment about our high water mark, we will see. I haven't seen too many pilot's predictions come true. The only thing keeping us down is our bankruptcy courts.
