My peak rate on the 747-400 was 285/hr if memory serves.
My previous post said pay, not pay rates. I didn't lose about 50% of my
pay rate overnight, I lost about 50% of my
pay. The
rate went from about 285 to about 168 if memory serves. That's a 41% drop in pay
rate. Our line values went from the high 70's - low 80's to around 67 to 68 hours and stayed there. Add that to the 41% drop in pay
rate, and my paycheck
(pay) dropped over 50%. Loss of work rules, vacation, training, sick leave, etc., was all on top of that.
I wasn't here to see what happened at Delta, but my situation was probably pretty similar at old NWA.
