I can't believe my pool opens in 1 month. But then I was driving and the car said it was 79F. Winter is over, I guess. Unless we get some freak snow storm coming in, but I doubt it.

AF/KLM 737 pilots
I fly the B737 for a US major airline, wanting to get realistic numbers on salary/take home pay for KLM and AF 737 pilots. Never seem to get a clear view of how our contracts differ in these terms.
Please PM
Thanks

If it's Delta you fly for, the guys at your MEC should have all the information you're looking for.
So who is Varkdriver? Did you get anything? :D

You and Sailing have to remember that we now make over $900 million per year in extra fees like bag fees (SW doesn't have that advantage Sailing...) plus starting in 2013 about $500 million less interest payments per year when the debt gets to $10 billion. What does that mean? Big raise, not managing expectations. It's the cost of doing
business. Say it with me....... And, did you call someone an a$$wipe? Really?

Much regret for the now edited post..

I agree with the cost of doing business part of your post, however, where we disagree is that all that profit will come to us...

Shhhh. It's secret information. The MEC can't give it out. School's out and I have to go pick up the kids. Bottle of Scotch FedEx'd to whoever can post the details of AF amnd KLM's current pilot contract first. Specifically pay and benefits and any applicable work rules. Let the game begin.

Notes:

3. Pension Details last update

Due to new Dutch laws the pension scheme has changed as of 01/01/2006. You now build up 1.95% of your total years pay (including your vacation pay and your end year bonus (set at 8%, for pilots employed before April, 2005). Variable between 4-12% depending on company performance for all new pilots, and older ones who have opted for the new scheme.

On top of this the company participates in the new "levensloop" saving scheme in order to allow the same pension total as before 01-01-2006. Pilots can opt for this or take the money (average of 6%) and invest or spend it themselves, this will result in a lower pension than before the new law took effect.
1. Current Fleet

15 Boeing 777-200ERs and 9 A330-200. (7/Jan/07)

2. Orders:

Starting February, 2008 the first of at least 4 Boeing 777-300ER will start to arrive. And an additional 5 A330-200 options have been converted from options to orders.

A Boeing 747-400ERF (freighter) which was initially scheduled to join the fleet in February, 2007 has now been secunded to parent airline Air France for a period of at least 18 months (being operated by Air France crews).

What do you know about taxes in The Netherlands? I have no clue what the effective tax rate is, and how that affects those numbers. THAT would be an interesting comparison too.. And actually, now that I look at it, that isn't all that impressive..

It's a fantastic day here in West Tennessee. I'm going out to the deer lease to see the new old tractor we got to manage the land. Two Delta pilots managed to break the old W. German John Deere last season. Luckily, we have four retired mechanics in the lease. I had my "hair shirt" on earlier this morning. I value each of you as my peers and the efforts you make each day on behalf of Delta Air Lines. I stand by my comments and appreciate the discourse. We are at a watershed. Frustration is building to a fever pitch. We can use that to change the course of our careers, or we can Red Book/Green Book, Delta/Western/PanAm ourselves into the mediocre middle of the pack. I was hired at Western, got the green light at Delta, went to Northwest and flew on the Red side, spent the last 23 years in a Green base and had a relative that flew for PanAm. They are or were all among the best this profession has offered. Unity.

My thoughts exactly. I think DALPA is getting this feeling from a lot of us - I suppose that's why the association is so twitchy on this forum.
