* Divide your yearly gross by 5%.
* Subtract 55% for taxes.
* Subtract 35% for ALPA dues
* Subtract 20% for DPA dues
* Subtract 10% for accounting fees.
* Subtract 10% for lawyer fees.

So, the answer is nothing.

*If your wife knows about it, you will come out in the red for sure. But, you will have a nice new couch to sit on.

.0485 x your gross pay in 2011, found on your DEC 31st check. Then x that by .6 to see what you may take home.

Since all of the above owe you something or another for protection and exceptional non-RNAV equipped operation, how much of a discount do you get from this list of cuts, newK?

That's much simpler than what newK said. Hmmm.

I think they said I would get $264 million.

We don't have to "test the very fiber of that relationship", because we have already tackled these issues and written it into contractual language. This is in no way short sighted even if one truly believes SWA is in fact "maxed out in domestic markets." SWAPA has continually protected all flying that is in any way associated with Southwest. Any relationship SWA makes with other carriers MUST be approved by SWAPA. SWAPA reserves the right to decide what agreements will be in the best interest of SWAPA pilots.

2. Domestic Codeshare
Southwest Airlines will not enter into a domestic Codeshare Agreement within the fifty (50)
United States without the agreement of the Association.

5. Other Codeshare
The Company will not enter into any other Codeshare and/or Marketing Agreement (to
include far international Codeshare flying) unless expressly delineated above, without the
agreement of the Association.

“Codeshare Agreement” or “Marketing Agreement” means flying performed by another carrier
whereby the other carrier transports passengers and/or cargo pursuant to a code-share, marketing,
interline, joint venture, pro-rate, alliance or any other agreement or arrangement whereby another
carrier uses the Company’s designator codes or operates aircraft with the Company’s name, trade
name, logo, trade marks or service marks thereon or otherwise holds out to the public that the
Company or its Affiliate is performing or is otherwise associated with the flying.

Except for that pesky wing crack thing.

ain't no thing, Buzz!

DTW in 1989 with some Douglas DC-10-40 awesomeness:

My friends hired at Southwest about the same time I started here are making $150,000 - $160,000 / year. I made less than $100,000 in 2011. A 50-60 percent pay raise is not going to happen. I don't think a 20 percent raise is going to happen. Actually, I really think we'll be offered something like a 30 percent raise over the life of the contract. Will I vote "no?" Of course I will. I think everyone will. I also think in 4 years, we'll be working for the same wages we are working for now. Now a 20 percent raise up front will pass. There's no doubt in my mind.
