SWA guys look like Usain Bolt ready to explode out of the blocks and report earnings.

B6 190 CA 9yr Pay

233k pay (includes 6k grievance settlement)
6k perdiem
37k 401k company contribution
276k total
584 block hours

Pretty standard block for me but higher average credit than usual. I also burned more than 200 hours of vacation and PTO on family health issues. Nice to have the option.

Yes. It confuses the old timers.

Says the guy who can’t figure out how to not double post.

Sharing this, I consolidated 2021's data into one spreadsheet which I found useful while wading through last year's thread.

Disclaimer: This data isn't guaranteed to be accurate and obviously only as good as the person reporting it, and there were likely a handful of inconsistencies open to interpretation. Did my best to get a "close enough" comparison although there are several factors not captured here. Sorted by $/block and included relevant notes from the poster.

ohh wow, you got me there old timer. It was not a double post. The first post was rejected awaiting moderator review because I assume I used the offensive B-word. My posts awaiting review never gets posted, so I just changed the B-Word to old timers and it went trough right away. Guess what, the "offensive" post got approved and was posted the next day. By the time I noticed it I was unable to delete it. I guess there is a first time for everything.
