Its a Rumor that in 1Qrt 2017 they change bonus to payscale.

Until then...... still a rumor.
Until an annoncement, still a rumor.

ENVOY said it best, stiff competiton for pilots has cause them to match industry leading pay. DL simply has been getting ahead of the wave instead of being reactionary. Good on DL for that, Endeavor has benefited. Has had 1 year head start. AA/ENY now sees the Domestic Pilot Pool drying up. Seems AA/ENY are reactionary mgmt and many others are reactionary mgmt style (see FAR117 fiasco in 2013).

Would be Interesting to know if anyone had the FAA data on new DOMESTIC Student pilot, Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot certificate issuance from the FAA. I have the feeling its' bone dry.

Any ATP data out there? They are the largest provider of DOMESTIC pilot pipeline.
