So, we don't have "Industry Leading" pay rates nor work rules. BTW, who thought up that selling point, the same guy who coined the phrase "Super Premium Widebody Flying"?
I guess they realized "industry leading earnings" wouldn't work either.

SWA has a little of a B-Scale in F/O wages. Their percentages of Captain pay are lower than Delta in the first few years and then in the end they are higher. I only showed the 12 year rate so that is not the whole picture.

Why ignore FedEx and UPS? They may fly cargo, but they're definitely doing the same job in the same equipment for the same (or higher) caliber of company.

That's pretty funny right there. Not to mention how many days away from home you are to achieve your earnings. As FTB has said a number of times, give me the lowest pay RATES...as long as they are for every hour away from base.

See now how rates don't say very much alfa?
