How in the world does scheduling give out a 3 day greenslip on the NY 7ER when there are 11 people on the availability list that have at least 3 days of availability?!

My point was that individual Pilots at both companies can be way above and below the norm. What if you take a DAL Pilot who does a few Green-slips a year. He doesn't work a lot of days, and his pay might make it look like we are all well compensated - which I don't believe we are.
I think people are bringing up these examples because some people on here were saying that the SWAPA brochure was incorrect and the numbers were wrong. These example are just to counteract that.

Check out the FO who just got a 3 day out of base GS in SLC. He even has 24+ hours to report. Sounds a little strange to me.

Elvis,
I wouldn't put too much weight to specific W-2 assertions on this thread. A few days back a post mentioned a 5 yr SWA FO who said his W-2 was $145,000. It is very hard to make specific comparisons between DAL and SWA but it should be clear to everyone including DALPA - Our compensation is poor and needs to increase.

Be careful out there. A few weeks ago, I had a scheduling supervisor rip me apart on the phone, dock my pay, and try to get me in all kinds of trouble over something that would have been a non-event up until recently. Scheduling these days seems to be taking a very "we're trying to find any way we can to nail you on a technicality" approach to dealing with us. I'm really thankful for a great Chief Pilot with common sense. But FYI... be very careful with commuting and with deviating from deadhead.

Any AVERAGE type SWA guy out there willing to blank out their personal data, scan and post their W2? Getting bored with all the 2nd and 3rd heard from so and so stories.

Unfortunately, this has been an unpleasant reality for, well, going on a few years now....

Here's an idea. If someone ISN'T really available, how about we DON'T put them on the availability list.

Because that list is worth nothing. It's one of the most useless and pointless things available to us. That list gives us NO guidance as to who is actually available for reserve. Some of those could be on FAR rest. Some could have a 30/7 conflict(Assuming it's a domestic trip). Some may be finishing a trip tonight.
