2013 is our amendable date. Does this turn you? Or are you talking pay only? Does it matter that DC is included in this chart? I think it's relevant as it is part of compensation and is money coming out of Delta's pocket, into mine (tax advantaged.)
Not flaming. What do you think?
*Keep in mind that the red portion on the SWA bar is what the pilot contributes to receive the match from SWA. Delta pilots receive the entire green bar from the company completely without having to contribute money from their paycheck to get a match.
It is not relevant without their workrules that allow EASY and regular premium pay. They absolutely blow us away. This chart is misleading and has been debunked aplenty.
If a DAL pilot wants to live in the dark and eat paste, this chart speaks to him. If, OTOH, he wants to understand how gross the gap between SWA takehome pay and his DAL takehome pay, he sees this chart as targetting the paste-eater.
