3. As this DAL/NWA merger shakes out, the 1-3 year Widebody folks are going to become a thing of the past....You have many NWA folks who have spent many years in the DC9 who are going to come on over...The last few years were an exception.
Joe, you refuse to look at facts. I have posted them go back and read them. You only lose the first year and maybe a little the second year. And the simple fact that there is a "break even" point should let you know that you will do much, much better in the long run at mainline.
But like I said keep justifying your lot in life by comparing the highest paying ASA job to the lowest paying one at Delta.
This is your logic:
An employer offers Joe a new flying job. He will make $50/hr his first year, $90/hr his second year, $100/hr years 3 & 4, $150/hr his fifth year, and $200/hr year 10 and after.
Joe says, I'm already making $100/hr it would be crazy for me to make $50/hr. It would take 6 years to break even. I would be stupid to take your job.
