Oh, and for 88.
I read your post on the DALPA forum that did your 43% math (now up to 45%). Part of the great gulf is that you are comparing Delta 88s to SWA 737s.
Same mission with the 88 having more seats.
However, I compared a 12 year DAL 777 FO to an 8 year SWA 737 FO with a similarly large gulf.
Padre, I have to ask, what is your goal in posting here?
What you are posting seems to me that you are trying to make some case for us to be willing to shoot low. You are not making your case.
You said earlier that you were junior. I take that to mean 2007 or later hire. Why would you think that a 4-5 year DAL FO (at a global powerhouse airline) should be compesated on their w-2 less than a national regional that flies 737s (honestly, no offense intended to SWA lurkers)?
