an 84% increase would be a big deal... unless nobody watches you to begin with.

TOTD Nominee: Southwest pilot jumpseating on our USAirways flight to BWI. He was an '89 hire at USAirways, furloughed, and lucky to recover his career at Southwest. Gleefully espoused his admiration of the "culture" at SWA, had no empathy whatsoever for the treatment of AirTran pilots and worried they would pollute the aforementioned "culture", loudly described how he gets 150% pay for all of his trips as he makes $38000/mo so he can pay for his summertime toys. Needless to say that didn't sit well with me, an '87 hire (junior A/B Capt displaced back to F/O next month), who like the rest of my fellow pilots here have endured a miserable career path post 9-11 and bankruptcy. Next time a little humility would be appreciated, but of course, you will have to display that from a coach seat. You won't be riding up front with me anymore.
