undoubtedly you have seen the the pay discussions here.
hourly rate isnt the most telling when it comes to the number on the w2. ask one of your delta bubbas to show you the atl 73nA list. and count how many could be 777A's.....but arent.
there are good reasons why.
of course this is the airline business....so every 5-6 years plan on your life getting turned upside down...
