Most of the shift from MSP/DTW to NYC has already happened. I don't know about MSP but GoJet and to a lesser extent ExpressJet (out of domicile) replaced a good deal of our 900 flying in DTW. I think in both MSP/DTW the lines of flying we had dropped 30-40%.

Thought I'd put this here as a new FO & sort of new to jumpseating. Wow, Southwest is absolutely great when it comes to getting home. They are very curious, professional, and willing to help. I'm impressed !
Also, my sim partner was just picked up by Southwest recently. Anyone else know what the attrition to Southwest is?

Is long reserve at home that bad when it's 15/16 days off and 100-120k second year?

Sure, but not with 15-16 off a month. And that's reserve, at minimum pay swa. I'll tell ya, a reserve at skw at 3-4th year pay is maybe around 70k with 12-13 a month. Unless you're a cka and you're OK flying your ass off, the illusion that you make more at skw is just that, an illusion. If you wanna hustle, you can make 200k at swa as an fo. Show me a skw captain making that.

Now on the other hand, leaving for United, Delta, or FedEx (if that's your cup of tea) is a no brainer.

Who cares whether CA is attainable or not, it's still better than being a lifer at any regional.

Their 401k, profit sharing, and work rules really add to the total compensation. I'm at AA and SW's contract is a lot better than ours.
