Anybody else read the latest ALPA section 6 history breakdown?
Found the graph useful and the bright colors amusing, but what's the most important line figure? (Pilot CASM, Operating Margin, Operating Profit) Just trying to wrap my head around all the data. Superpilot....that animation is freaking me out |

These are all just different metrics that constitute a few pieces of the puzzle. History will show you, a pilot group gets significant raises when three things line up: 1) Company is making good profits 2) The pilots are unified 3) Other pilot groups are also pattern bargaining up In the current environment, unfortunately at the moment, you also have to convince the NMB, which despite its two "labor friendly" members, has been anything but. |

Deadhead, Operating Profit shows the raw cash potentially available for pay raises and contractual improvements. Operating Margin shows that as a percentage of revenues, making it easy to compare our relative profitability to other carriers. Pilot CASM shows our pilot costs relative to other carriers and can also be useful.

What the heck was the party in New York for? Was this the party in 09 or 10 or is this an annual thing?
And when is the RAH ruling?

Priceless!
What is a thumbnail sketch of the SWAPA model for compensation? • Approximately the last five years, SWA pilots averaged 105 “Trips For Pay” (TFP) per month, or about 1260 TFP per year. • Approximately the last five years, SWA pilots averaged just over 18 days off per month. • Per Diem rates are among the highest in the industry: $2.15 per hour away from base. • SWAPA considers our Duty and Trip Rigs to be the strongest in the industry, as they protect pilot productivity and efficiency. • Minimum Daily guarantee is 6.5 TFP; Ex., a 3-day trip pays a minimum of 19.5 TFP. • Duty hour rig is .74 TFP per hour, minimum. • Reserve guarantee is 90 TFP per month; but actual months pay average around 105 TFP. • Reserves are allowed to pick-up extra flying. • Holidays pay 150 percent. • Open Time trips pay up to 150 percent. • Junior “forced” assignment pays 200 percent. |
