As you may or may not know I am married to a fedex pilot. The intracies of two airline pilots living together are that they will never make as much as their peers if they want to see each other and their children. They will drop trips for a loss of pay to make time for each other or they will not have a marriage for long.

Especially when you are both captain's and can't buddy bid each other.

Just saying how much they made doesn't tell the story because you don't know how much they worked. Furthermore the SWA pilots have had extensives raises since that article was published and they would have been looking back a year as well at earnings.

Cheers
