Why would you stay here knowing the company isn’t going to compensate you for the type of flying we do when you can currently go to Delta and in less than a year be a 767300ER Captain with one of the best QOL reserve systems that’s not going to slowly kill you?
Go on, scream on the top of your lungs as you have been programmed, “but but they have PBS!!!!”
Are you aware that the Delta 767-300 pay scale is the same as their 757 pay scales? The upgrade to that equipment is basically their high end narrow body pay scale.
I just wanted to highlight this because it seems many folks assume new hires there are immediately upgrading into WB aircraft and while the 767-300 is a wide-body airplane it is not treated as such in Delta’s pay rates. Only the 767-400 is which is considered a different fleet at Delta.
I realize that the new TA rates are way higher than our WB rates currently but they are not delta’s true WB rates.
The most Junior pilot awarded a true widebody, pay scale wise at Delta ( 330,767-400,350) is a 1999 hire. This is second hand knowledge so please correct me if I am wrong but some food for thought.
