A significant number of pilots at Delta break 400k counting the DC plan. I just flew with a 767 FO who broke 300k not counting the DC plan.
what does that mean ? 5000 dudes ? what % of the pilot workforce is making those numbers. And what are they exchanging in return. I bet they are humping to make these numbers, unless it is some 64.9 year old dude #3 on the seniority list.
