Now, let's talk about pay rates. Go check the A330 pay rate vs. the 747.

The A330/350 order was stated by Richard to be a 'replacement' order, for the 767ER's.

Do not confuse Replacement with Growth. They are not the same.

We are now hiring as fast as we can in order to properly man the airline. We all benefit by this increased hiring. Except the 747/777As (Sorry Timbo and Carl ).

Is anyone suggesting that we make it easier and less costly for the company to run an undermanned operation?

One of our fellow Delta pilots, Todd Perry, was diagnosed with ALS in August 2014. Unfortunately, his condition is advancing rapidly. He is restricted to a wheel chair, requires a feeding tube, and can no longer speak. Todd is a MSP 320 F/O, who has two children, ages 10 and 13. His wife, Karyn, is a schoolteacher.

Last week I was approached by a pilot and made aware of Todd’s situation. With the help of the Delta Care Fund, Andy Hummel and I we were able to grant the Perry family financial assistance. Additionally, with the help off Todd’s sister Sandy, we have created a Go Fund Me website. Our goal is to alleviate some of the burden from the family so they may spend more time with him.

Currently Todd is at home, with hospice care. He has made it clear that Delta was his second home and greatly misses being able to come to work. We are hoping, as a Delta family, to assist Todd’s family during this immensely difficult time.
If you can make a donation of any sort, please visit the go fund me site at:

Todd’s sister has also created a site where they are selling t-shirts with Todd’s smile. All proceeds will help the Perry Family. If you purchase a t-shirt, please take the shirt with you on a trip, and take a picture in it so we can send it to Todd.
The "SMILE" Logo is his legacy signature. Todd added this smile at the end of every signature. Let’s help Todd get his "SMILE'S" everywhere!
