Take a look back at 744 ALV's for the last year and tell me how a 744A is going to average 87hrs a month, even with vacation credit
Don't forget that a 744A (and all fNWA) is not going to be on the DAL DC contribution until 31 Dec 13 as per previously negotiated DC harmonization. Not b*****g, just commenting the fact that the rosy total TA compensation projections don't apply to 40% of the pilot group until year 3 of the TA.
