14 year Delta 7ER FO, very junior in category and a commuter, so zero premium pay, and not a whole lot of international pay. Made 148K in flight pay. 9K profit share. 27k company retirement contribution (more than normal 14% because I was targeted under the old NWA plan.) 645 block hours. I was on reserve for about half the year and worked very little. Worked my @ss off the other half of the year.

DC-9-- that's the thing-

When you factor in 3 weeks of Vacation that pay about 50 credits each. 2 sick pulls and lots of premium -- And living in base and being somewhat flexible-- it's more than doable.

9 year FO, in a JR base. 148 TFP average, made all kids events, but did work 4 Saturdays in 2013. 730 Block hours.

You just gotta be a little flexible and adapt to a new paradigm. It's not gonna be given to you the first of the month. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable seeing your board with 0 credits for the next month-- but if you willing to play, the payoff is nice.

Or you can just fly your line and go home. Or a little bit of both. All up to you.

And call the BS flag all you want, and try and call out folks trying to inform. But you're really only showing that you don't understand how our pay system works.

Along with what Beech has said, I can count on 3 months with a credit of 140+. Two vacation months and my training month. You work hard but get rewarded well. Three months of 140+ is a third of the year right there. Then you add on the third week of vacation at year 5. You get the point.

So wait, you are junior, but the general hired at the same time is senior and makes more than most SWA CAs as she claims?
As a comparison, what are 14 year SWA peeps seeing?

 

[Skyboy722]

9th yr SWA FO, 152k not including per diem, profit sharing, retirement, etc. 658hrs. Live in domicile, only really "play the game" in the summer months, and even then only about 120-140 trips. Most wouldn't consider that "playing the game" at all. The rest of the year I'm a completely shameless lazy ass. Like, never, ever qualify for buddy passes kind of lazy ass.

B6 3/4th year. 125,000. 900 hours, ~15 days off, living in base. We have a ways to go it appears.

I don't know who GL is, but if he was hired at Delta the same month I was hired at NWA, then he is almost 1800 numbers senior to me, which would give him access to much better trips and premium pay. Our senior wide-body FOs can make a whole lot more than I did, especially if they live in base and are available on short notice. Our premium pay is 200%.

Notice he said he was FNWA. I was hired well before that, and he said 14 years, which would be about a 99 hire at NWA, blended in with 2001 hires at DL. Big difference in seniority. I tend to get 3 day Europe trips (with an occasional 4 day Rome lately), and the greenslips have been raining down on us lately. A friend of mine in SEA (a 767ER FO) just got a 5 day greenslip that involved deadheading to Tokyo (20 hour layover), flying a ferry flight to Hong Kong, 31 hours later dead heading back to Tokyo, and then a deadhead to SEA. It was worth 32 hours, but as a greenslip it was worth 64 hours, at $155 an hour, for one leg flown. Keep trying Jonny, you still look foolish, though...

1800? Wow, you guys really didn't get treated that well. Sorry to hear that.

Redflyer is lost again.....The 3 arbitrators decided what was fair, not the pilot groups via a CEO...... Sounds like he was scared of a fair award...

I doubt you would have considered it a "fair" award had those 1800 been placed above you though, no matter who decided it.

I'm sure he doesn't like it, but when 3 arbitrators listen to testimony, pour over documents, and make a decision that isn't influenced by management, it's probably fair. Nobody but the number one guy is happy with arbitration, but it's done by NEUTRALS.....
