Some of their workers. Their slope preference isn’t really favorable for a #5 carrier.

AS $259, B6 $259, WN $258

What am I missing? They are all essentially the same. Maybe some work rules and duty rigs help one vs the other, but the basic rates are equal???

Don't brush away the value of work rules so easily. When you compare W2's and how much time pilots at each airline are away from the home to generate that income, the differences become stark.

We essentially get paid by block time and straight hourly. No enhancements, no overides, no extras. If you credit 80 hrs in a month, you likely blocked 80 hrs. Which is why Delta and SWA fo’s out earn Alaska captains.

This administration would allow ANY merger. Blocking mergers is for consumer protection, that's not a R/Trump priority in my opinion.

This is garbage... made $317k last year no perduim or 401k included. Have made $248k so far this year, $350-370k by the end of the year. I live in base, never less then 15 days off. Grow up! I have a couple buddies at SWA that are FO’s... they do not make anything close to me.
