I wouldn't say my friend is clueless..I think he knows exactly what goes on inside Delta...He's only been at Delta 40 years and served as Chief Pilot of NYC for a number of years many years ago..He is Captain on the A330ATL now and just flies the line..He clearly stated that the most he's made in salary n per diem alone has never exceeded $250,000 a year..Ofcourse there's profit sharing n the B plan on top of that..He's never missed a day of work in his 40 years at DAL..I think many of the pilots at DAL know him very well and he is very well respected..BTW, he is joining Qatar Airways as Executive Vice President of Flight Ops after he retires from Delta. Not a bad position to get since it pays over $500,000 per year plus living accomodations and a car n driver...He's already been hired and he himself told me to stick with Qatar Airways over coming to a U.S legacy
