This month I am doing 175/13.
Last month I did 165/11.
Relatively slow months.
I probably average last year 130-140/14-15.
This year working the system probably 150/14.


I will let you all think about what these numbers mean for a bit.


I get it why a quick upgrade and moving quickly up the list is important, but I commute on these numbers and am around 60% from the top of the FO list in my base. If I lived in base probably 170 to 180 a month.


A senior FO living in base I just looked at did 220 trips average a month with 9 to 14 days off from September to December which is relatively slow months. Why the upgrade is delayed by many here at SWA.
