The difference between a 30 year career at Delta, United, FedEx, UPS and AAL is probably >$1,000,000. Choose wisely. People will tell you contracts come and go and you will move up the list faster at AA. That’s partially true but the facts are you will earn 20-30+% less at AAL in total compensation.

if APA screws up this bargaining round you are probably looking at another 10 year stretch where the avg DAL CA makes $50k+ per year above his/her counterpart at AA.

Is it true that Group V is reserved for commuter flights to Mars? rotfl

I left ual for aa and it was a mistake.

Those would probably be group 1. Group 5 is B-747 and A-380.

You are correct. Originally 74s.

That may be true but delta and united hired a lot of young pilots over the last 5 years. Unless you’re under 30 would you ever get to those highest paying positions over there?

Absolutely. You’ll also be flying more hours and staying at substandard hotels. The optimizer is butchering our quality of life and the hotels are getting worse every month. Unfortunately managements talk about changing the culture is just rhetoric to keep the workers rowing. A lot of us had hope for this management team......that’s gone. The union is outclassed when dealing with management and too arrogant to see it. If you come to AA keep updating your apps at Delta and FedEx.

You really don't know what the future holds. There was a time when Delta was last on everyone's list. 727FE forevvvvver vs going right into the FO seat with the best contract and fastest upgrades out there. Which would you choose?

That second carrier was US Air, mid to late 80's.

Turns out, that was a really good time to go to Delta.
