I seriously doubt any of the other employees are anywhere near 32% below where they were in 2004... probably not even more than a single digit percentage below. And I'm guessing management is actually quite a bit ABOVE their 2004 compensation.
Anybody have the stats on this?
Most are in the 5 to 10 percent range however they kept their earned retirement. As a example the flight attendants made 49 and change before the two rounds of cuts they took. They are now back up to 46 and change after 3 pay raises. The 4th raise is scheduled for this July. That leaves the down about 7 percent.
The company has however maintained since the left Chapter 11 that wages would be market based and they have only pledged to keep Delta employees paid in the median of wages for airlines similar to Delta. This has lead to different groups getting different raises as they are compared to their peers at other airlines.
