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

50% day one. Would accept as low as 30% on day one, but only if we reached C2K+COLA by the end of the contract, and no longer than 5 years to reach it.

I do not care about a specific percentage increase in hourly pay. I care about a 50% increase in overall compensation package.

Highest percentage of near retirement pilots who have seen their last contract already (744).

I guess they didn't see the question about what do you want to do with retiree medical? :eek:

It's a crappy deal when your average LEO makes more and has a retirement worth twice that (50% at 20 with 3%/yr after that). We are the only group of professionals where thousands apply and a few hundred may get hired, yet we can't figure out or negotiate a legitimate compensation scheme. Seriously, a Laguna Beach lifeguard Captain makes more than a Delta 737 Captain...

I'll tell you why. Because the obtaining and maintenance of the above is the only reason to have a career in the first place!

What is your minimum requirement for an increase to your W-2, i.e. take home pay?
