SWA pilots are very highly paid. Many SWA Captains are earning over $250,000/yr, far more than a UAL, AAL, or DAL pilot of a similarly sized airplane would make. SWA pilots also received, on average, more days off than their counterpoints flying similar airplanes at other airlines. The January schedules from PHX, for exmaple, had at least 17 days off per line with some as high as 19 days off.[/B]</font>

Where can we find this dubioius information? Very, very hard to believe any Southwest captain is making $250,000 a year.....flying 737's from PHX to Baltimore ???
