It's basically crewed at 2 captains and 2 first officer per jet. I know one of the 604 fo's and said pilot can't wait to get a new job... The turnovers on the first officer side is extremely high. The captains make descent money but no where near where it should be. You will get no vacation. You will work more days than they say. You will not be compensated for all of the extra days you work. You will leave be up to fly out on your first day at 4 am! If you are lucky you might get home to eat dinner at your house on your last day. Most of the time depending on where you live you might not get home until 10pm on your last day. Plan on being gone 18-22 days a month. You will cover the jet when the other fo is in training, misses the commute due to cancellation, wx, or is sick. Pay will never improve as long as they can find flight instructors or low time guys to warm the seat. Trust me they try to spit shine the sh&t out of the fact it's a delta company! It is nothing like being a Delta pilot! The chief and the assistant chief are great guys but they have nothing to work with because of Big D's handcuffs on them.
