Careful what you say.....Saying that 3 times will result in the Kiwi Monster showing up in your nightmares.

And yes, when pilots from other bases drop trips for FLL trips, it will increase the red days in the non FLL base they dropped from.

And I agree, I love that pilots can drop in one base and swap into another base to help improve their QOL.

There really aren't that many pilots in other bases that can't hold FLL. It's down to a large handful.

It is a factor but mostly FLL CA do sop up open time like crazy. Many have no idea that SW 12 year captains are about to make $250 up to $270 when our 12 year guys make $160

CA-"I mean, we have a 9% match....thats incredible! I tell my friends outside of aviation this and they cant believe how great it is"

Me-"You realize that a 9% match, only, is pathetic with where the industry is these days"

CA-"Nah, I dont think that accurate"

So because Southwest had one of its engines fly apart it's a "****bag operation" too?

And as we grow, that'll become more commonplace. It's a numbers thing...more planes, more problems. Has nothing to do with the operation.

I'm definitely not one to defend our clown-show management; but our maintenance is actually decent.
