Flyguy nailed it. There is single digit churn at the bottom of the list as people realize the situation there is hopeless and move on. Last vacancy had a very junior award, but I wouldn’t want to be hanging on to the bottom of that base.

I’m joking above about applying Delta while on reserve. I’d be updating my Delta app right after day 1 at SWA.

Avg is around 100-110...prob. Some months are less, some more. If you pick up something on a day off, that goes above rsv guarantee. Anything picked up from OT as a yr 1 guy pays yr 2 pay.

let’s hear it? Why go to delta and not stay at SWA? I’m a captain on the 737 at LCC and live in a SWA jr base. I’m hoping for SWA but have a DL app in as well.

They have fleet variety which lends to a QOL bump due to artificial seniority and gives you options on the type of trips you work. PS is light years better. Upgrade is slowing a lot and is prob about the same.
Airlines are pretty much the same for pay and benefits…try and work where you live. Commuting sucks….whatever airline gets you closest to home is what you should shoot for.

Rsv is 15 days on @ 6 tfp per for a guarantee of 90. IF they used you every day, and IF every trip was rigged and IF you had no changes that got you LCO, etc then you'd credit 97.5.

Okay that is what I was figuring, thank you!
