Unless pilots are flying 80 plus hours every month, and run to the phone for a green slip, $200/ year certainly doesn't seem average.
Well, for first officers at least.
The average pay was 180k in 2013. When the 2014,numbers are posted with the raise and increase in PS it will be near or over 200k. The reduction in profit sharing was about 1.9%. I don't know where you got your numbers. The math has been posted many times. A simple recap is the profit sharing amount was reduced 125 million dollars. The reduction was a fixed amount. The pilot share of that is about 34 to 35% or just under 44 million. 1% in pay equals just under 23 million dollars.
The average Delta pilot credits about 87 hours per month. Some more and some less.
Keep in mind that pay and w2 are not the same. You need to view your 31 DEC pay check and view the gross for the year to get a accurate amount.
