Question for guys with an iPad. I was checking them out but was not able to view screw schedules and trip info using safari. Is there another browser that works?
same browser used on the Iphone it gets the job done, just have the browser mimic IE or Firefox. |

A three day trip at SWA credits about what our four days do. Yes, that is a generic statement. My best friend is at swa, we talk a lot

While that's commendable, it doesn't make them more productive. I would think that pilot productivity is measured by average pilot block hours per year. Most airlines want that number to be as high as possible; they're not likely to concern themselves with how many days you have to work.

Ok...I should have said block. I guarantee you if our rigs were better we would be more productive. I fly a lot of trips that are plus/minus a few minutes of trip rig and you know they know that when they build them. Which is why is doesn't cost them a dime to sit you on a 3+46 productivity break on the last day of a 4 day. I'm just saying if our rig was a little bit better there would be some encouragement to build the trips a little better. And, I also know that would be a negative when in comes to hiring. Swa's real only rig that they ever hit is the trips for pay rig. They don't do three 18 hour layovers on a 4 day. How bout a Swa guy pitch in here?

Contract 2012 should be easy for ALPA negotiators. SWAPA has done all the work already...throw their contract on the table and adjust the rates for a/c bigger than a 737...done!

Before we think we can emulate SWA, or Jet Blue ... there are some pretty big structural differences between the way SWA can staff trips and the way Delta can. For starters, SWA has one type of jet in one airline. Delta has seven types in one airline and another 10 other code share partners doing Delta domestic flying.
SWA has more choices to maximize efficiency. |
