Hey no facts please, your screwing up the integrity of FI!! Lets not leave out that the only reason why NWA rates are lower is because NWA kept pensions and DAL sold theirs out. So comparing payrates after both companies took paycuts is stupid. What would the DAL rates be if they would have kept their pensions?General i found your new avatar it will be up shortly~~~

The problem with your logic is your comparisons are deliberately skewed. The PROPER comparison would be:
DAL MD88 to NWA DC9
DAL 737 to NWA A320
DAL 75/76 to NWA 757
DAL 767400 to NWA A330
DAL 777 to NWA 744
When you compare those rates guess what? DAL is 10 to 11% higher (except the 777 which is only 6% higher) just like everyone has known since the day the post BK contracts were signed. When compared Properly the facts suggest that your 767 is payed like a narrowbody, not the other way around. You guys continue to ignore this fact.
At least you didn't call it debating like Generally. Debating requires the use of facts.
Don't get me wrong, I think we're all going to have to learn to get along but it gets old seeing the "facts" skewed to one side.
You say DL 767s pay narrow body rates but the fact it seems you would like to ignore is that the DL fleet of 247 757/767s pays only $2/hr less than the NW fleet of 32, much larger, A-330s. It's not the size of the airplane it's the pay. The fact is DL brings many more high paying jobs to the table of which NW guys will bid when/if the SLI is agreed to.
What would your payrates be if you hadn't sold out the pensions? Didn't it go as a trade off? NWA guys took a bigger hit in hourly pay but kept pensions, DAL cut pensions but gave extra hourly pay. Payrates are different just like circumstances were different.
You got me but what does the fact that NW guys kept their pensions do for a DL person except take money out of his pocket to pay for it after the merger.
How's training going by the way? I thought NW had an outstanding training dept when I was there. They went out of their way to pair guys up with a Capt (mine had been a -9 guy for 8 or so years) which made all the difference for a slow guy like me.

We brought our 757 rates up to our 767 rates. How much more does the A330 pay than the 767? How much more does the 764 pay than the A330? A lot more I believe. It pays $20 more an hour than the 767. You are the one who are skewed. Get the facts straight.
Well looky here.... I looked it up. Our 764 pays more than your 744. We have 21 of them too, which is larger than your 744 number. And, our 764 pays about $19 more an hour than your A330. Why did you pare them up with our 764? It is a lot closer to our 767, and that means closer to our 757. Talk about skewed......get your facts straight, again.
Bye Bye--General Lee
