so that's 21 bucks more per hour than Spirit. and they got teamsters, maybe we should switch to them. wow, World even gets 2.40 hour per diem...that's 40 cents better than sprite....
Your math is fuzzy......
This is easily the dumbest comparison of contracts that I've ever seen on an internet forum, and that's really saying a lot.
You do realize that those guys at World are flying MD-11s and 747-400s, right? A little bit different than an Airbus crammed with leisure class seats. And then of course there's the fact that World only gets a 65 hour guarantee. As for per diem, their flying is 90% international. That per diem rate for international is less than stellar.
