Delta Air Lines Announces First Quarter Results

[Tanker Clown]

Sadly, an AF LtCol makes more than any Delta FO, or even a Song FO for that matter. It's quite sad really. But then again, I caved in and let my employer cut my pay. That's more of a Delta thing.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Not too sure about that Tanker.
The senior FO's are making well over 130K

 

[Tanker Clown]

ACL,

Between my base pay, housing, flight pay, and BAH I'm pretty close to $130. Then I get my $25k pilot bonus. So, I'm well north of what you guys are making. Now SWA FOs on the other hand are in the $150+ range. Hopefully someday you'll catch up with them. But hell, the way Delta loses money, I'm sure you'll take a cut before you get Southwest money. Or Air Force money.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Brother, I was being nice and quoting your rank pay plus a few perks. Most nine year ER FO's I know are in that range if they hold a line. Now the 777/744 FO's are WELL above that.

Just think when you come here, you will have to start our at first year pay.

Clown, as usual you are one!! BAH is housing, moron. I am guessing that your base pay is about 72K, BAH is 24K, Flight pay 8k. My math has your total pay at approx 104k'ish. Plus the 25K you get in ACIP(assuming you still get it). That puts total compensation at approx. $130K. You see I retired a few years ago and know that your numbers were a little high. How did you make LtCol and fly all those planes and only accumulate 1725 hours. I have more in the flare than that.

You guys gotta stop feeding tanker tool! It only makes him piss me off more!!!

 

[Moon-dog]

Milp17, it does your heart good to get some exercise. Least get it pumping in anger, its the next best thing, anyway. Now get to work!!

Ok, I'm only going to say this once.......
Nice post moon-dog! Tanker doosh is no more an a/f pilot (Lt. col no less) than Obama is a good president!
He's got more "stick" time playing with himself than fllight sim!:laugh:

 

[Schwanker]

18yr Lt Col pay:
7748 base pay (likely no state income tax depending on claimed state of residency)
223 BAS (No payroll or income tax)
840 flt pay (no payroll tax)
2919 housing allowance (DC area) (no payroll or income tax)
Total monthly = 11730
X 12 (Annual) = 140760

Add 25k/yr ACIP = $165760/yr (no payroll tax on $25K bonus either)

Now throw in SIGNIFICANT tax savings (Fed, State, and payroll) on BAH, ACIP, Flt Pay, Housing and your north of 180K. Now throw in a few tax free months and you get the drift. It does come with significant QOL/family sacrifice!

Added: Don't forget about the approx 48K/yr (4K/mo) retirement you start collecting at age 42 (assuming commissioned at 22). Point being, I wouldn't dog Clown too much for his take home/financial set-up. Other than that, he can be a butt-head, but I'm sure it's all flame! I find some humor in it.

Thanks Schwanker. I'm sorry to all the Delta guys. I know when I got into the AF, a government job wasn't supposed to pay as much as a private sector job. The benifit would be my pention and medical. Luckily for me, the AF continued to give me raises and promote me, while Delta continued (with the help of Delta pilots) to take pay and benfits away.

Hopefully someday, you guys will make this type of money.

Not with ALPA (America's Lowest Paid Aviators) representing us. They'll cave again and give RA and crew everything they want. But they'll get us a temporary 20% pay raise and claim victory.

What's amazing? Despite dropping the ball on several key issues, the ALPA machine rewards itself lavishly with 400k+ salaries and a lifetime of benefits. Even more amazing is that ALPA still has a large group of cheerleaders at Delta who are junior!?

Maybe tanker doosh, but you won't.
After all, an aircraft lav technician (isn't that what you call yourself) isn't making that kind of coin. Besides, what does the colonel's foot massager, and private coffee maker make these days.....Accounting for inflation?:laugh:

We all wish.

You've been cutting and pasting the same insults since you were 737Pylt.

By the way, Comair is paying out another profit sharing check this quarter.
How is Puffdriver doing getting your MEC to turn that off?

Or did everybody realize that with such an act, DALPA would be admitting we're the same company?

:bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:

It's contractual. I am not part of the pilot group who tries to circumvent others' contracts. The plight and trend of Comair these days speaks for itself. Last round of arguments was the argument that you had DOH for travel on Delta. How'd that work out for you?

It's coming, still.

 

[N2264J]

It's contractual.

What in the wide, wide world of sports are you talking about, Poindexter?

Did your MEC relate a opinion of ALPA attorneys to make you back off your position?

You're not smart enough to understand, and I have not the time nor the inclination to explain it to you.

Just keep up your :bawling::bawling::bawling: with Merchant.

Dressed down by a Delta pilot...I'm losing the will to live.

If you are getting profit sharing as a Comair pilot, then that is coming out of the pockets of Delta pilots. That WILL stop...

Does somebody want to bring this up on the DALPA board? Might bear investigating.

By the way, this is from only one of the threads where Delta pilots were asserting profits and new hires in 2009. You guys are such a hoot.

That's one of the funnier things I've read on this silly board in some time......well done.

I'd say that you guys are not being dressed down by the Delta pilots, but by Delta. Go ahead and enjoy your thrills on FI anonymously. Where it counts is where it hurts, and it has only just begun.

Yawn. I'm out. I leave you with your standard reply :bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:

 

[Scope out RJ's]

We all wish.

You mean you all sued.....How'd that work out for you junior?:laugh:

You've been cutting and pasting the same insults since you were 737Pylt.

Your infatuation with said poster is almost scary. Maybe try match.com instead of FI. I can also attest to your cutting and pasting the same as a horses ass.

By the way, Comair is paying out another profit sharing check this quarter.

How much are your furloughees getting?

How is Puffdriver doing getting your MEC to turn that off?

How is Dan Ford doing in his crusade to make all you homo's $$millionaires?:laugh:
Did you spend all that dough on hair transplants? Or did you give some more dough to Haber in that awsome lawsuit you guys had!:laugh:

Or did everybody realize that with such an act, DALPA would be admitting we're the same company?

Much as you girls wanted us to be the same company we aren't. See you girls at the rjdc have to clean up your act. Get rid of some of those failed checkrides, dui's and for the love of all things N, get a college degree. Frivilous lawsuits aren't doing your career any good! (not that your career was doing any good to begin with):laugh:
