I've seen ~50% 73NA in ATL, for 2026 (4/15) earnings are already $320k for the year. Of course that included PS. This is more of a reflection on how bad this company is being run right now.

It's just 737 (73N) and "A" for captain. I guess 73N is a carryover from when DL had 737 classics.

I’ve got an interview at DL coming up. I’m curious what someone in ATL or DTW NB new hire can plan on making year one and two?

I eventually want max days off, but before we have kids theirs a couple things we’re paying off. Is it possible to work extra year one and two to get around the 120 credit range? Or does that require seniority to get extra flying and GS’s?

220B, 40% in category. Averaging 130 hours credit so far this year on 15-16 days worked. 2-3 green slips a month. Goal is to barely get into the GS window with line award and then pick up QS/GS on the weekends.

How does a pilot's credit ever get above ALV+15?

It doesn't. Pilots just confuse "pay and credit" with "pay no credit"

Waldo is the same dude who thinks signing in on micrew starts your duty clock....some glaring holes in his fundamental knowledge.
