The average Delta pilot earns only $2300 a year more than the average B6 pilot. JetBlue has no widebody rates bringing up the average, and they have E-190 pay scales in their average. I would say B6 pilots do quite well in comparison. Yes, our 10% company match (5% 401k, 5% Guar Profit Sharing) needs to improve, but our work rules are pretty good and our vacation is very good. And, yes we do have a contract to back it up, just not a CBA. Owe, throw 2-3% raise on there because no union dues. So I guess the average is better than Delta.
