Good luck getting anyone to feel sorry for our friends at DAL. We are all in this together but what else do they realistically expect?? $169,393 a year ????? Those days are going going gone !!!

SkyHigh you are being manipulated just like DAL is trying to do to the public. THose numbers ($169,000) are put out by the company. Which figures do you think they used? They picked random dates targeting the times that the most senior DAL pilots were preparing to retire and flying overtime. They included the pilots who were getting $1mil exit bonuses and gave cost numbers for health care and vacation time.
If you believe the company numbers then you are seeing only half the picture.
