You will see this disparity go away in the next Delta contract beginning 1 Jan 2013. As has been stated many times before, prior to 9/11 Delta's wage structure significantly exceeded SWA's pay scales as well as many others. With the merger complete and $1.4 Billion in profit in 2010 this will be the next step.
