I started the Delta F.O. in the lowest paying equipment and moved to the next higher paying equipment every 2 years, and continued this progression at the 10 year switch to Captain pay rates. That is a $365,544 over the 20 year period. I would take that bet all day. Of course many will say the Delta rates will go up and the SWA rates will go down, but that is a gamble most betting folks would be willing to take. The SWA number is for minimum guarantee only. I will not speculate as to what each individual pilot will gross, but most pilots at SWA (including me) go well beyond guarantee on every paycheck. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Your model for Delta is waaay too optimistic. Figure MD88 B for the first ten years.

Me too. Just quoting and making fun of the movie....no harm or disrespect meant to Gus. After the reviews I've heard, I'm waiting for Red Tails to come out on HBO/Showtime.:cool:

My schedule for last month is showing exactly 70 hours and the spill from the trip that touched this month is showing 8 hours. The flying that went into this month was not 8 hours of flying. How does that work? Is this some accounting magic they are using to avoid paying for flying over reserve guarantee for last month?

I have been creeping this thread for a long time now with nothing to contribute. I just have to ask though Carl why are you so in love with SWA?
I really don't understand this characterization. I've routinely posted undeniable fact about SWA. Facts about the SWAPA contract, and quotes from their management and union leadership. I've done that mostly to refute some of the folks here who (for some unknown reason) try to portray anything SWA as second rate compared to anything at Delta. In my view, posting hard facts does not constitute being "in love" with something. Some of the folks here simply cannot stomach the truth about the differentials between DAL and SWA, so they portray you as "in love" with SWA if you post the truth. It's an attempt to get you to shut up.

Also why so much hate towards DAL?

I am very close to someone who was most likely hired around the time you were at NWA and they love the new changes, mostly more than the old NWA ways... Now there are some complaints ( pay mostly but who isnt upset about that) but the rest is pretty minimal ( Sorry I do not have specifics).

Regardless, as someone who someday wants to fly at DAL as my 1st choice and not SWA. I can't help but wonder what is so bad about being a 747 Captain at Delta... Sorry not really a useful post but I am very curious.

Thank you for the clarification. Sorry for the strong use of words. What you said makes sense. Like I said I was just curious since you seem the most vocal.

First of all, welcome!

It's an attempt to get you to shut up. Hate? Really? Could you remind me of a post I've made that constitutes hate toward DAL? Excellent. I'm happy when anybody enjoys their job. I hope you'll understand that I don't wish to publcly post the problems I have with my new airline from a flight operations point of view. Therefore, the main problem I have with my new airline is not the terrific airplane I get to fly. It is the union that represents me. That union's lack of desire to reverse our tremendous outsourcing problem portends a very bleak future for us. Unfortunately, most pilots don't understand just how important this is...and just how bad our scope language really is. Carl |

Not sure that I fully understand your question but maybe this will help: It was explained to me that any credit that is earned during a rotation is paid at the end of a rotation while hard time is paid in the month that is was flown. So if a rotation has three days in month A and finishes on day four in month B - all rotation credit will be applied to month B. Hope this helps - if not the all knowing thread will help out. :) Scoop |
