Couple of things:

As of today at Delta these planes at 12 years of service make more than a FedEx Widebody at 15 years of service. ($335)

A350
787
A330
767
757
A321N MTOW 197,000 lbs
737-800 MTOW 155,000 lbs
A320 MTOW 170,000 lbs

Also, a different perspective on potential top of the payscale number using our smallest jet…

This is to rebut the “we aren’t going to get deltas widebody top pay because they have so few pilots that fly those” argument.

Our smallest plane is obviously the 757. If we use Deltas new max number for them ($349.50) to set the entire payscale and apply that to our current narrow to widebody ratio in our payscale ($289 for narrow and $335 for wide)

289/335 = 349.5/X

Our wide bodies would need to make $405.13.

Delta has set the market for 757 pilots. If we agree with them then we pay ours $349.50 and our widebodies $405.13 using the same ratio we currently employ in our payscale.

The top widebody number better be $405.13 or better. End of story
