He said "Every SWA pilot knows during the summer months you're on reserve @ SWA." This is referencing line holders. He said right now they are fat on pilots. Take it for what it's worth.
1. We don’t have 800+ aircraft (think it’s closer to low 700 right now)
2. Bookings are down 1-3% according to what’s released to the board (check Fidelity or any financial site for that matter)
3. Staffing is slightly fat due to Hawaii, (it takes roughly 5-6 months from interview to online and done with training).
I’m only a line pilot...you don’t have a friend that’s a CP giving you this info.
Flame on man

He may be full of it or poorly informed, but his place of employment doesn’t keep him from knowing a CP at SWA.
BTW, an employee of SWA might have the self awareness to not throw shade at upstart, low cost carriers bringing new business models to the industry.
