Well, there are a lot of variables in my particular case due to fleet retirements so it's hard to nail down. I guess I could figure it out, but my point to be made was that I'm tired of folks telling me how lucky I was to get the DAL payrates due to the merger. I truly do not want this discussion to deginerate into some N vs S debate. All I was trying to respond to is that at the end of the day I'm getting less DC % than someone hired at DAL the same day as me (not to mention new hires). It is what it is, but it sticks in my craw that I'm missing out on a few thousand dollars per year. I had nothing to do with the negotiations at the time and couldn't vote on the results.

As a reasonable person, I'm content with waiting until the next contract to be on par with the vast majority of the pilot group. Let's add this to the To Do List and venture forward as a unified group. We deserve it.
