At no point did I say that training pay was equal. In the very post you quoted, the one you didn’t understand, I said that the pay differential is inconsequential until Delta picks up the hotel tab. Or rather, once they quit picking up the tab when indoc is over. People can play games with that to make it better on the Delta side, but the ones I know who go there don’t.
The gross amount on the paycheck doesn’t matter. It’s the net that matters. And those numbers are close for that time period for both companies.
It’s embarrassingly low. It’s pathetic that Spirit doesn’t offer insurance for 3 months, actually one of you play this game right but still bad, and it’s pitiful that first year pay is so low once OE is complete. None of these things have ever been in contention.
