Look dude you were the one that asked this simple question:

Now you're trying to deflect because you don't like the answer. Yes , SWA pilots have been surpassing Delta pilots' earnings for decades now. And since all of their pilots make the top dollar (as opposed to Delta pilots where only the small percentage of 747/777pilots make the top dollar), the level of surpassing is even more stark.

Everything you've posted after the bold font is more deflection and BS. Just like SWA, UPS pilots have surpassed Delta pilots for some time now and have done so with EVERY pilot...not just the small portion of 747/777 pilots.

That's a different question now isn't it. Deflection will get you nowhere. You know me better than that. FDX pilots have surpassed Delta pilots' compensation for many years. And they all have a fully funded pension.

Deflection, spin, and BS. They make more than Delta pilots. Period. Next time, don't ask questions if all you can do is spin away answers you're uncomfortable with.

Instead? My goodness are you blind. SWA, UPS and FDX are extremely healthy employers.
