Is a "blank" a line ? How many days off did you end up with in July / Aug for you to credit 112 / 123 ? If the AIP is implemented, would you have been credited 6TFP on the RSV days you were not used ? Seems like a huge improvement if so ? What's your base and if one had 10 flights a day into base (CLT-BWI)) would picking up days be easy to plan for, or are they normally last minute and living in base is the only viable way to pick up ? Lots of questions, but it seems that at SWA vs AA one could earn much more as a FO. Thoughts ?
I don't commute and don't mind working a day off if they don't use me on RSV since I spend RSV at the pool or biking, etc. I just make sure I say within 2 hrs of the airport. I'm based in DEN and picking up is easy if you want to do it.

FWIW..
Heard today that the $80/hr rumor is incorrect. It will be in that NEIGHBORHOOD after the conversion from TFP. Supposedly more details on that to be released shortly.

Quick clarification, the B-fund (technically the defined contribution plan) REPLACES the matching 401K. There will not be any matching funds if the TA passes.
It will be a 12% the first year of the TA, then 14%, then 15% the third year.
More than likely will be the same 401K account everybody has today, but rather than requiring a 10% contribution to get the company's 9.3%, they will just throw in 12% (or 14% or 15%). Since it is still a 401K, it is still YOUR MONEY. No vesting period. The minute it hits your account it is yours. It can't be taken away in bankruptcy despite what some captains may tell you (that's a defined benefit, or "A plan" - we don't have one of those.
Obviously you can't retire on 15% so you can continue to make your own contributions from your paycheck into your 401K just like you do today, and most FOs will until they hit that $56000 limit.
The nice thing about this is that if you have something happen in your personal life where you need every penny of your take home (divorce, catastrophe etc) the company will still make contributions on your behalf... unlike today, where if you stop your contributions, you are out of luck with regard to retirement.
Hope that clears it up a bit.
