You mean all those places that you have to fight to get to/from work jumpseating so you can sit in a crashpad on reserve while we enjoy all our days off, never looking at a single flight schedule, and then get on our company provide positive space seat to/from our trips with no crashpads, always a hotel provided every night away from home, while you’re buying hotels in base, and we’re keeping all the hotel points and air miles so when vacation comes.... our family rides positive space executive platinum awards while you’re waiting standby, and we stay for free in a Sheraton, Marriot or Hilton using points..... and with the other hidden soft money it isn’t that far behind when it’s all factored in.

Or or or, live in base sit reserve in your own house in sweatpants work 35 hours on average (I’m at 11 for the month) get paid 75 with min 14 days off and the ability to swap drop reserve days online and or assign yourself an easy 3 day trip going south in the winter with one / two legs a day if you can tell there are a lot of trips in OT and they will probably assign you something ..
Listen if you are happy I’m happy for you. But don’t try and paint a picture that for most is simply not true. Delta like most airlines pays about 80 hours for an avg line with 15 days off. That’s a normal line. Nothing special. And even my regional was like that.
I rather sit home do literally nothing though and get paid 75 hours and work the occasional turn when bored of Netflix.

We got rid of the one set of meddlers and now we've got another set.
If ACMI ain't your thing go run along and sit reserve in EWR. I'll keep living internationally and watching Netflix in a hotel instead of a basement.

Try west coast in a nice house. I avoid ewr. I get my international fix flying for free business class every other month to see my family in Europe. Nice try though. Don’t get the hostility. I think these rates are a great step in the right direction and am super glad for you (and the industry). Just don’t get why people feel the need to paint a picture that is only true for some to make themselves feel superior.
Cheers.
