Let's look at the 767 Captain rate for example:

2004 (C2K) rate: $267.52
At 78 hours monthly average (I'm guessing that's not too far off from what guys were averaging back then) and adjusting for inflation, that would be $314,428.22 today.

Current rate: $219.62
At 87 hours (the last average I saw from DALPA), that would be $229,283.28.

The difference between working 78 hours in a month and 87 would be at least another day on average possibly 2. So today's 767 Captain works a day or two more to get $85K less flight pay.

I'm not buying your assertion that you're anywhere even remotely close to C2K adjusted for inflation, even with profit sharing... unless you're flying a bunch of green slips or something.

Thanks for correcting that nonsense.

Pretty sad when our own pilots do a better job of lowering expectations than management.

Looks like LAX is going to become something like the NYC ER was in 07-08. New hires out there and hope they are putting them in position for a big Asia push like the NYC were put in position for the big European push.

Seeing some heavy FO's in ATL jump to the left seat only to not see those positions backfilled. Guess that shouldn't be a surprise?

Clamp, FTB,

You guys go for the 717a?

Not until I'm 50% I'm ATL717B.

So 717As better get used to 30 hour overnights with FTB.

You're welcome. I've spent a lot of time over the years "correcting nonsense"... hopefully at least some of it is sticking.

Indeed.

I guess new hires could go to the SLC 73n also since they only added 5 of the 15 posted. Go figure.

Where are you guys seeing the AE awards? Did not see it on the crew resources page.

Thanks Scoop
