Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Of course no single pay rate has gone up more since I was hired then the new hire pay rates and first 5 year rates. First year pay when I was hired was 1500 a month. It went to 1800 a month for a long time after. Senior Captains then made about 180,000 a year.
On 1 Jan 2013 first year pay is 66 an hour and second year 91 on the lowest paying equipment we operate. Second year pay in 86 was 36.00 an hour. Lets see, then 36 for year 2 and this contract 91. We really yanked the ladder up on the junior guys!!!
The senior pilots pay has soared compared to the bottom!!! NOT!!!

Once again, you like to change the subject. I was speaking of new hire hotel rooms, not pay rates.

Not sure it was blindly.

The argument was made that those jets "greatly help" DAL reign in corporate accounts which of course is good for the DAL pilot............

You do mean rein in, right? A king reigns.

You want to spend negotiating capital on where new hires get to live while in training? I made 1500 a month for the first six months before going to 25 bucks an hour. Then we got to graduate to the b scale. Sorry, no for me. My first year I ate through savings to support my family, now new hires are getting over 60 an hour.

Oh that's right it's your "guarantee".

Rumor Mill:

New AE in August for retirement program, 737-900 staffing, and 777 "realignment."

Discuss. Sounds an awful lot like there's still some extra fluff that they want to trim off the 777....

I was in that class (Oct 2010 hire) and I paid for my hotel the month I was in training at MSP. I didn't like it, but that's the cost of doing business. Delta did cover my hotel during indoc, however, and my take-home pay was $2300/month until I finished training and started IOE.

At the time, my wife and I thought it came across as a little 'cheap' for such a large, respected company to skimp on the hotel and per diem during training (and yes, I'm new to the airline industry).

wait, you mean the first AE after our marvelous shiny new TA will be a negative one? How can that be?

Let's see how DALPA spins this.

Hard to decipher negative movement with a realignment.....
