I was hired by DAL in 1990 and for some reason I still have a copy of all the DAL pay rates at that time.

Here they are:

02 Mar 90 737-200 (the -300 was slightly more)
$148.45

01 Sep 92 737-200
$155.88

01 Aug 94 737-200
$158.99 (That's 20 bucks an hour more than your number)

It's also $30.00 an hour more than SWA.

DAL's hourly rate was more than 20% greater than SWA's. I consider that significant.
