... but all other operators are paying to much to thier crews
Not necessarily, read my post again.
Southwest is profitable (except for special accounting circumstances) whereas, many other airlines are not.
In our particular situation, we are a seasonal flyer, so cannot be compared to regular scheduled carriers.
And, I did not say salaries should be reduced.
I specifically asked why some folks think they are worth
more.
Haven't noticed many justifications for this...
