5. As long as the balance sheet is what it is I’d fly a C-172 for what I now make. I don’t really understand all the angst about all these comparisons of WB vs NB. PanAm was all WB w no domestic feed and that didn’t work out too well.

If a guy has a choice of the big three it would make sense for him to figure out which airline would give him the most money making potential over a career. Which usually means getting to a widebody sooner.

On the last bid the 765 went to a 131** number which is a Feb 2017 hire. I still maintain that a financially healthy airline is much more important over the course of ones career than what equipment and pay rate they are on. But then again I fly the 717, what do I know?

SWA has only 737s as you know and a pilot hired there in 1987
Made a lot more cash than a UAL or AA or Delta pilot
So to answer your question
The future is unknown
