My last trip was with a reserve 777 Capt. He made $165K last year. I made $165K in years 3, 4 and 5 at DAL as an FO.

I flew a trip 2 months ago with a senior 777 A who got a greenslip about every other month and made $280K...I know this because as we taxied past a SWA jet I said "the capt of that 130 seat jet makes more than you do." He said "I made $280K last year, but I worked my a$$ off for it."

My taxable W-2 last year from DAL was almost an even $125K that was with about 50% reserve 50% lineholder.

I dont trip park and I green and whiteslip when it fits into my life and the trips are available. I haven't had a greenslip in 3 years and whiteslips are slim to none. I do commute. And I know we are underpaid. WAY underpaid. If 777B cant make what you say the "average" DAL pilot makes, who can?
