What I want to know is, why doesn't the Whale pay a whole lot MORE than the 777? Until we change over to LGBP, that's just wrong. An airplane with about 150 more seats should pay a whole lot more.
Of course, as soon as we change over to that system, the company will order 100 A380's and 747-800s'!
DAL PWA Jan 1, 2015:
12 yr. . . CA . . . . FO
777 . $270.25 . $184.59
787 . $258.90 . $176.83
330 . $255.28 . $174.35
7ER . $226.21 . $154.50
Looks like the Delta Pilots were successful in negotiating a 14.5% higher payrate ($20-$50/hr more) for the future "767 sized" aircraft.
Sorry T, I used to be a proponent of LBP but I like the option of more money OR more QOL that the current system provides. LBP would take "more money" off the table and make more QOL the only factor. The current system allows for more choice.
