My buddy just had a week of SWA vac that paid 58 hours(touching trips). 3 day trips pay what our 4 days do. etc, etc.

If you want the money they are making you need a lot more than just their payrates + 1%.....just so you know.
we are gonna need their medical plan too...please!

I've been working on it Clamp. I need a little more creative inspiration (beer).

As long as the guy isn't nuts, I think its funny.
I must have flown with the same FA because I've seen the same picture. It's beyond words. She told me he also had a hard hat with him. At least he wasn't wearing that.

I can't imagine what the person next to him must have been thinking when he started pulling his live vest out.
