you should be able to access this part of the SAEA(union) website. If not let me know.
Asst pay is 74% of the applicable step.
Goal is 1yr on the A desk prior to upgrade, been averaging 6-8 months for the last couple of years.

Does this appear to be a trend that is going to continue at Southwest....that they'll open up more spots to outsiders?
