Pre-9/11 Pay

[AA717driver]

Green--APA wasn't holding out for more. Along with "giving" DL pay, AA management included the concept of providing for "Baseball-style Arbitration" to deal with the contract.

That would mean the company would put forth a proposal and the union would put forth a proposal and a "neutral" arbitrator would choose one of the proposals. There would be no cherry-picking by the arbitrator.

APA passed. (Correctly.) TC

Continental widebody CA pay was 203.79/hr plus $6 Int'l override. This was industry bottom! Had UAL not had to make concessions their 744 CA pay would be $355.82/hr. today. $330,000 a year to be a pilot sure would have been nice.....

Here's one data point. It might be off a dollar one way or the other because I've tried to forget.
757/767 Right seat 3 year pay: $145/hour - 78 hour guarantee (UAL)

You're talking about a check airman right??? Sitting in the right seat of course. That pay is gross but also incredibly awesome!

Seem to remember DAL 757/767 domestic captain made $265/hr. However, the controversial "greenslip" overtime paid double that.

Prior to 9/11, of the 500 highest paid employees at Delta, 450 were pilots. Certainly that is no longer true.

However, it may have all been just a dream. I can't be sure.

I wish I had saved them, used to have all of them on my computer.

But in addtion to the above UAL 74, I think 75/76 was around 225ish/hr, A320 around 215ish/hr, and the 73was 205ish/hr.

I believe DAL 737NG FO 2nd year was something like 120.

How bout 141.00/hr in the right seat of a DAL MD-88. Fifth yr pay. Now 44 a trip at SWA. Just a bit of a hit

It's one of the first RJ's, what do you expect?

I'm joking. Anybody want to know what the pre-9/11 pay rates were?

Simple.

Somewhere between a lot and a sh1tload.
