And after all of this, a 12 year 777 DAL/FO flying international makes about what a 3 year SWA/FO makes ping ponging around Texas. You guys are doing better now, but you need to get a spine and get your money back.
That is not true. On Airline pilot central .com salary survey a 12 yr SWA FO makes $131 same as a Delta 777 FO.
A 3 year SWA FO makes $90+ same as most Delta FO on most wide bodies and B737-800. SWA FO has no international pay or per deim and works a lot harder.
I would love more pay. We get a raise every year. Our first year pay is ahead of SWA. We will move ahead of SWA with our next contract either via a merger or new contract at the end of 2009.
Our CEO was thinking of increasing our pay at the end of the 1st quarter for every Delta employee with no negotiations.
Delta Air Lines has a very good employee and management relationship. We try to work hand in hand for success.
It is not all about money. This is a dream job where you get to see the world in style. That is worth a fewer dollars less to me.
SWA is a great Airline but I stop updating my application when I got hired at Delta Air Lines. I am thrilled to be employed here.
