WM,
According to the ISL, a 12yr CA is in the top 10% of every SWA domicile as an FO. 7yr is in the top 33% of most with the exception of LUV and perhaps HOU. |

Without divulging too much detail, I'm very close to being in between the 12 and 7 yr Cptn mark and fall right at a third from the top of the F/O list in OAK and LAS (the most junior bases), less than half in DAL, and halfway down in MDW and BWI. So in essence, I'm going from a not so junior Cptn. to a not so senior F/O. Lovely. |
Whackmaster, you'll never be happy.

You're actually expecting me to be happy about going from a fairly senior Cptn. in my current base to a mid-level F/O in my new base? Are you friggin' kidding me? |
Since I don't know, and don't want to know your employee number, I can't check your facts. But it seems to me that what MathewAMEL said based on the ISL was correct.
I also know from your previous characterizations and generalizations that I don't believe anything you say at face value.:p I'm pretty sure you're both senior and younger than me though. That should make you happy.:D BTW: I had a great time on the beach. You should try it.:) |
whackmaster for your sake and the sake of your family let go of the bitterness,the anger,go find a grass strip, find a Cub ,or a Champ, and rediscover the whys and hows of your chosen path, it is good therapy,i highly recommend it, may you regain your 4 stripes soon.

I'm sure all the airline CEOs would like us to correlate our jobs somehow to tooling around in a bugsmasher, though. Sorry, not me. |
