Aviation Week reports on August 26th 2002 that Southwest pilots will recieve a 28.54% to 41.91% raise over the course of their contract extention. Will that make them the highest paid in the industry? Even more than Delta pilots? certainly the highest paid 737 pilots at $240,000/year at the high end of the raises.
SWA Pilots highest paid in industry?
- Thread starter kiowa
- Start date
Not sure what is meant by 'low end.'
A 12 year Captain is topped out, though some 12 year Captains make much more than others (fly extra, fly your line, give away trips). 100 trips/month is close to average.
A 100 trip/month, 12 year Captain now makes $134/trip. That's $160,800, not including per diem.

Parker includes the stock options when he says that SWA are the highest paid. Going by straight pay a 12 year Capt today makes $133.92 per trip. On 9/1/06 at a minimum a 12 year Capt will make $173.63 (a raise of 29.7%). If we get all of the profitability raise a 12 year Captain on 9/1/06 will make $175.07 (but if we get all the profitability raises that rate will be reached on 9/1/05)
