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

God bless him if he is actually pulling that off (let's hear the actual monthly flying hours to achieve that) but he is an anomaly that does not represent most of this group. I'm left wondering just what in the TA that he so abhors, will prevent him from continuing to do this.

I only abhor ISIS...I don't like the TA

Glad u are in a category and base where you can do that. You are getting a great deal and I am happy for you. What in the TA will prevent you from continuing this?

Wow, you must work under a amazing contract. Who negotiated it?

It's a good one for sure. I'll retire well behind my friends at UPS and FDX. Those are pretty amazing

That remains to be seen. I'm no mainly based on Section 1. With many years left, that's my biggest concern

You haven't a clue how I did it. I may have flown about half of that block. Seniority is good. So is section 1

First off - I was saying what you did was achievable after some on here were doubting you. Forgive me for backing you up - I'll try not to do that again.

Secondly - I am pretty sure I have a very good idea how you do it. Or do you think you have cleverly discovered a unique way to maximize your pay that only you are privy to and all your fellow Delta Pilots are just too obtuse to figure it out?

In any case like many have said - I doubt all of QOL givebacks will get in the way of you earning 150 hours a month the easy way, while the rest of Yes voters are busy selling our greedy souls for the $$$$. :cool:

Einstein is reported to state that compound interest was the most amazing thing in the universe to him. Whether that is an urban legend or not it is still true. With the 15% DC (and to be 16% if the TA is ratified) your year that paid you twice what the typical FO could earn--made possible by the contract that so many in 2012 described as a "POS!!!!!!" and now made even richer by this TA that will likely be ratified--will give you far, far more in retirement than any FedEx or UPS guy will likely walk away with.

If you understand compound interest and "TVM" (dirty word though it may be) than you will see my point. If you insist on residing in a DPA/Sh!t-Chat realm of muttering, wailing and gnashing of teeth then you will not.
