Take a look at the bigger picture here and quite thinking you are the rule instead of the exception… us other Captains at Alaska aren’t down here slogging at wages below our peers because we “don’t know how to work the system”. It is because we’re a 3000 pilot regional trying to compare ourselves to world wide billion dollar companies.
Nope. You missed my point. See, I have done this before. No one is searching for a Delta commuter that works 690 hard, punching in at 82 hours a month, bringing in 280k a year… guess what, they are out there. No, right now someone is looking for a hustler with an override. A guy knocking down at least 40k a month, average. Then everyone on here will say, “ see that’s what every Delta pilot makes, and Otz only make it at Alaska because he is a sellout.” If you compared the average Delta and Alaska pilot in like equipment for 2022, you would see they make almost the same. The delta guy a little better hourly, the Alaska guy got a 17k bonus. They both made 280-295k. That’s the truth!
