So, by the end of next year the average 73N captain at DL will be making $195,500? Will they be averaging 18 days off a year as well?
That 195 is 85% of the $230,000 average that WN captains currently make (per the SWAPA letter to the AirTran pilots - but then, maybe SWAPA was lying about how much their captains make)
