A letter to a Delta Friend

[General Lee]

Are you incapable of following a thread? Apparently. I notice you didn't answer the ? about why DL international 767-300ER only pays 10% more than domestic NWA 757, the same differential that exists between every NW/DAL comparison, yet we are to believe that the DL 757 was "brought up" to 767 rates. Gee, if it hadn't been then I guess it would pay the same as NWA 757 and would be the only case of parity between common airplanes in the two fleets.....Riiiiiight.
As a percentage of the total flying that they do....YES. I was not making that some battle cry as you Deltoids desperately try to insinuate. I was correcting an earlier post that said DL757 pays more than NW A330 and pointing out that in 100% of the scheduled flying the NWA 330 pilot is getting $5.17/hr($3.88 FO) Intl Override. 100% of DAL 767 flying does not. Excuse me for trying to, yet again, convince the average deltoid to compare apples to apples.

What about those NFL charters on the A330? You said 100% of the flying gets the INTL override. You are WRONG 319. (But I did notice you added "scheduled" flying this time thanks to my previous post)

Bye Bye--General Lee

DTW: I don't know why the 76/75ER fleet pays 14.6%(int'l overide, apples to apples?) more than the domestic NWA 757 (your comparison, in your original post) but only, say, 7% between the dom. 75/76 at DAL and the NWA int'l 757? I guess it's because of all the permutations involved in adding or not adding $5/hr to various fleets. $167/$165=1.012 or 1.2% "premium" for the A-330vs76/75ER. Yes 167 is greater than 165, just as 17% is greater than 5%(the increase in pay for NWA 757 capt. vs. DAL 757 capt.-domestic, under LOA 19) The reason the domestic 767 (21 aircraft) pay is "only" 11% more than the domestic NWA 757? I don't know, was the 75 brought up or the 76 brought down, or a little of both? How about this: the NWA payrate under LOA 19 for your 757 int'l will be $173/hr, 3.5% more than your current A-330 rates! You are right, I am sometimes incapable of following a thread, I did "jump the gun" a little bit, my apologies. There have been numerous posts on other threads that appear to try to marginalize the 767 flying at DAL (ie. not "really" a widebody, not "premium" flying, pays "only" 10% mor--oops! -just kidding! etc., etc.)
