Seems to work fine for that category.

Unless you are the poor schmuck that has to live off those pathetic wages,

I am however asserting that the differences between the contracts are not nearly as great when you look at all items. I expect at a very minimum SWA payrates plus a few percent and to keep the good things we have in our contract like the 14% retirement contribution. In fact I expect that number to go up into the 16 to 18 Percent range not remain at 14. Offer Delta management the SWA contract and they will have a party over in the GO that will last for weeks!!!
i expect the same...and for good measure, when we get a PWA 2012 TA, and ALPA goes into full road- show- sell- mode...lets hope we are not backpedaling from today's expectations!!

I will not accept the SWA contract unless we have a double breasted leather jacket. No double breast, no SWA contract. Simple as that.

Guys,

I have a good friend at AT/SWA who is also in the FDX pool. I'm very familiar with the FDX contract and pay, but I hear some pretty high $ numbers for SWA.

I was recently told by a SWA crew that most f/0's could average $150k without killing themselves, and the Cap said he made $375k this year, but admitted he flew a lot.

Any SWA folks care to comment on realistic numbers ?

Many thanks......
