Compensation: In 1999, our top rate was $184 while Delta's was $250. In 2004, our top rate was $206 while Delta's was $319. We went from Delta being paid 30+% more to them being paid 50+% more, yet people like to say we had industry leading pay. Our top rate didn't pass that $250 mark until 2008 for our A380 rate that we never got.
