I bet it's a lot. Add that to their pensions, and once again, Delta pilots will take it in the pooper while the newly acquired folks rake in the cash. And these guys are from a bankrupt carrier with ZERO future. I'm surprised DALPA hasn't already started telling us why we should be happy with that.
But hey, at least we got a huge payraise and vastly improved work rules in this contract for playing ball with the company.
How does this translate into DAL pilots getting screwed? Some of you people really need to take a look into reality, and try to realize that it is not all about you.
I am guessing that if you were an American pilot, your post would look something like this: Damn APA. The DAL pilots are still getting $1 more/hour than we are. Just because our stupid management can't find their way out of Cowboys stadium, doesn't mean that they cannot afford to pay us more than those clowns over in ATL. Besides, their retirement isn't tied to the company anymore, so we need more compensation to account for the potential mismanagement by Horton.
