Endeavor FO with the fresh uniform shirt out of the dryer look ( very wrinkled), top button undone and open, back of collar popped up, etc. Then the lanyard with a stack of who knows what attached, probably 2 inches worth of "cards" and to top it off.... Mcdonalds wrappers coming out of the pocket of his rollerboard.

You can either pay by the hour as you go or prepay the flat rate of half your stuff every 10 years. Depends on how much you use it I guess. Residuals and depreciation and all that numbers stuff.

SWA guys,
Is this doable, and if so, how? Would he have dropped all of his normal trips and picked up others at 150% pay?
I ask because, at Delta, a lineholder must fly almost a full month at normal pay before he can get 200% for a premium pay trip.
Thanks...

GREAT question! I would think that if it is, they would ALL be doing it.

I do understand that SWA does not have the 1 GS rule as Delta does. IOW, a senior pilot can fly all the premium pay trips he wants without regard to more junior pilots. One would have think that this too keeps the average SWA pilot from doing what this jumpseater does.
SWA guys, please add to this discussion to clear up any misconceptions. Thanks...

He or she can drop all their trips and pick up at premium if they want. Two things have to happen though. You're senior enough where people want to pick up your trips ie turns, commutable trips, low block high pay, playboy mansion ovrrnights, etc, and lots of open time in the system ie summer flying.
