Do you have friends at SWA? Have you ever seen the math on money earned per day flown? I have, blows our NB math away. The lack of B plan has been fixed, and their vacation/trips touching humbles our plan. Their medical blows ours away, and they have a min day, not as important for our international folks, yyuuggee for our NB folks. Nice singles and doubles they've strung together.

I agree, the PS final product will be huge. Not flying with too many folks that are willing to see that change at all. I'm looking forward to seeing the comparisons as well. Have to go now, off to hear from JM, the NC and my reps. Should be interesting.

well then why does the ER pay a few dollars more than a 737? there is where the problem lies. We consider it a WB but pay it like a NB

It pays a few dollars more because the 737 rate was negotiated long after the 767 via 3B6. Same reason the 767-400 pays a lot more then the 767ER.

Have fun. Let us know what you find out.

I appreciate the tone of your discussions lately, btw, even if I disagree with much of the perspective.

Had to leave a little early. Got to hear all the reps talk, JM and SU speak as well. Questions were varied, passions were high at times. I think we'll see a TA in the next two weeks.

Apologies in advance if this is a momentary thread hijack.



SWA pilot here, I have a few questions for the Delta pilots.



First, Delta pilots get a company paid B-fund contribution. Does that money go into your 401k account or some other investment account?



Second, do Delta pilots ALSO get a 401k match on individual pilot contributions as well? If yes, what is the percentage the company will match?



Thanks in advance for the quick answers.
