Maybe you need to look at what the current pay scales of NWA and DAL............and what DAL MGT is demanding!..................Fantasy??
Your simply a hypocrit with a chip his shoulder.
I don't see the world as I want it to be, I call it like it is. Yup, the pay is too low. Lower than I will risk my families happiness over, but pounding my fist on the table and claiming that it isn't so will not change anything. The latest generation is prepared to be poor for their career. I can't help that. The only choice available to me is to opt out. I don't see how that makes me a hypocrite. I am only stating what is obvious to everyone else.
I am sure that what management is demanding is frightening to someone who is use to earning a quarter of a million dollars per year, but to a poor regional or LCC pilot even half of a Delta Captains pay would seem like a fortune. I am sure that Delta's management is only trying to find parity with its competitors.
I don't have a chip. If I did I would have to get in line behind a few thousand people who wouldn't mind too much if some of your ivory towers were shortened a bit.
