From a 'you'll die if you're too old to execute a single engine missed approach near terrain because you're slow and incompetent' standpoint, it's exactly the same. Again, this was shown to be the case during the Exxon trial(s).

Mama,Mamacita, why so angry ? In truth some do fit that description, and should be gently be led out to pasture, but I've flown with some sharp old dudes too, we shall see how this all shakes out, I'm thinking 70 may be the limit , but we shall surely see.

Nacho, you are really a piece of work. What about the marginal younger guys (and don't tell me there aren't any)? You are a one trick pony. And the term marginal is overly kind in some cases.

Still not so clear for FO's either...
If SW continues to pay profit-sharing at present-day values indefinitely, If the FO has less than 11 years seniority at NJ, and If the FO is under the age of 44, then "Yes" it is an easy decision. (strictly from a "career-earnings" point of view)
Any variation of those three variables changes the math enough to where it's not so cut and dry....

I heard this was in the works a while ago. Literally the only advantage to NJA for me was the ability to work past 65 (too young to retire in my opinion). Now, If this comes to pass, there are none.

I don't care. You're not good at this anymore. You're incompetent, dangerous, and no longer needed. You're not pulling your weight any more. Get out. Go crawl into a retirement home and watch Matlock with the other gummers - and take your hurt feelings and ****y attitude with you. You will not be missed.

Not trying to talk anyone into anything, and there are certainly many factors involved in making a personal decision, but the above is completely false. A maxed out small cabin NJA Captain in their early fifties will make considerably more over their career moving to SWA even if they never upgrade. I think there is a lot of confusion about how we're paid. Yes, you have to work it, but the opportunity to make a lot of money for those who do is really there.
I even assumed a SWA upgrade after 10 years (55 year old in this case).

I've crunched the numbers several different ways and can't get anywhere close to what you're suggesting.
I used to live in Dallas and have a large number of friends at SW who provided a sizeable amount of earnings data for me.
I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the way things work over there, but if you can show me some alternate math, I'm all ears.
