Buddy says they're opening it back up as a 75/67 base in the fall. Not sure what that'll do so seniority of the base since it pays the same. Only draw I could see to moving over from the NB would be better overnight choices?
Third post I've read with the statement "it pays the same". Not completely accurate. The 757-200 pays the same as the 737-800/900 but the 757-300/767-300 pay more and the 767-400 pays a lot more so the "756" category blended pay is higher than the 737, which is slightly higher than the Airbus due to the vast majority of the over 300 737's paying the 800/900 rate vs the split between A319/320. It will cause movement.

Do you get the banded pay no matter what you fly? Buddy in ORD never touches the 767-400 and he's never said he gets paid that rate when he doesn't fly it.

All your soft time is paid at the blended rate.

Just out of curiosity, not sure if it's on this thread. What's the average TFP/Block guy's at SWA are averaging? I'm hearing around 108ish average from friends there

I drop and pick up at 1.5x so my numbers are skewed from a guy who just flies his line. My avg this year is around 130 tfp and 640 block.

Zombie thread. Go back and read this thread and you will see that the answer lies within.
Block - somewhere between 600-1000
TFP - somewhere between 90-410 (yes, that new record was set last month)
Average is around 800 block and 108 tfp.

If I'm traveling 30 years after I retire I'd consider myself very lucky.
