Delta needs to pay pilots more

[dicko]

Posted from another forum. Yikes, don't 4 year SWA FOs make 148K? Private Lee, this can't be true, can it???? Please tell us you aren't exaggerating about your pay again?




But apparently someone with 14 years of longevity can't.

I did find it amusing that the DAL poster thought 650 hours was an example of not flying very much.

You must have missed "Alan Shore" on that other forum that claimed he was a 12 year 7ER FO at DL that made more than $220K all in? Yeah you did. And, he got to do it flying to nice places. You lose again Jonny...

Must have to work a lot to do that. Didn't realize premium pay was that plentiful at DL.

It is now with FAR 117. It is tougher to give last minute trips to reserves because they don't know if they got 10 hours rest. They would rather give out "white slips" (voluntary pick up, normal pay) or "green slips" (double pay) because you are volunteering and sort of acknowledging you are rested. Also, 75/767 "ER" used to have 24 hour callout for INTL reserve, and now it's 12 hours due to 117. But, short call is still limited to 6 per month via the contract. The contract wins. They are now short on the 7ER, and 50 new spots wil be on next bid.

I have seen guys on the 320 get 5 or 6 greenslips per month because the 320/319 has been filling in for 717 trips due to a training backlog. Guys who know how to bid and leave space open gather plenty of greenslips.

Good for you guys. Good to see arguing over who has the better deal for once. Hopefully we'll (NK) be able to keep pushing the bar higher thanks to your new contract. Ours will be opening soon.

I hope you guys keep the bar climbing. It's great you did get higher pay and kept the 4 days off min between trips.

Uh huh, and guess who the most vocal critic of SWA on here is.....

Not me......i never run to SWA threads and mud the water with the usual superiority complex usually passed our way.

And he is NYC based-yuck. There must be a reason why new hires can hold 7ER NYC.
"14 years and worked MOST weekends!"
Keep it up Lee. Your schtick is getting limp.

Old news....that was 6 years ago.

Try something new or get some facts that are current to make your point.
