Delta needs to pay pilots more

[BILL LUMBERG]

Did it ever occur to you that as a general rule older people usually have more seniority and want to fly the aircraft that pays the most money? Try asking a UPS pilot which aircraft and type of flying goes the most senior and you will find that it is NOT long haul international but domestic flying.

Half truth Howard and you know it.

They do the domestic because most flights out of Louisville goto a city they live in and commute from. They go home in the morning then do a turn to the hub. It has nothing to do with the long haul.....

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Bring locked up in that 737 cage for 8 hours a day doing multiple legs is not for everybody either.
