If we were to go back to the old system of a pay cap, I wonder how many pilots Delta would need to hire. I bet it would be over a thousand.
If...as DALPA claims, the new average is 92 hours per month, that is 22% more, per line pilot, than back when we had a 75 hour pay cap.
So, yeah, they would have to hire 22% more pilots, or find another way to make reserves fly more, etc. if we went back to a hard cap of75 hours.
The past 5 years of stagnation is not totally due to age 65. The stagnation was also due to death of the hard 75 hour pay cap.
