One airline (SWA) does not define "industry standard". Neither do cargo carriers.

So many people continue to bad mouth our pay, while refusing to acknowledge that, in spite of how bad it is relative to the past, we are near the top at the moment. Call them bankruptcy wages if you want, but they are almost industry leading. That's pathetic, I admit, but it is what it is, and to ignore that reality, is to live in a dreamworld.
