I'm still curious why the 737 and 320 pays more than the 88/90. Also, it's often that the 88 will fly more legs/ generate more revenue per day than the either of the uglier under-wing engined siblings.
What happens to pay rates when Delta gives all its wide bodies to code share partners

Does the short school bus driver get paid any less than the full sized school bus driver? Nope
Does the train engineer pulling 50 cars get full of passengers get paid any less than the engineer pulling 150 cars of more lucrative oil or cargo? Nope.

This just about sums it up:


Prior to Delta's Bankruptcy filing;

The Pilots took a 32.5% Pay Cut, which amounted to $1 Billion
The F/A's took a xx% Pay Cut, which amounted to $yy
The Mechanics took a xx% Pay Cut, which amounted to $zz
The other non-contract employees took a xx% pay cut, which amounted to $xx
And in bankruptcy, the Pilots took an additional 15% pay cut, which saved

the Company $300 Million,
And their Pensions were TERMINATED, which saved the Company $ XX Billions
And the non-contract employees pensions were converted to a DC plan, which

saved the Company $xx Millions

Since Delta exited Bankruptcy, the non-contract employees are at xx% (90?)

of their pre-bankruptcy pay rates
The Delta Pilots are at 60% of their pre-bankrutcy pay rates.

Delta Management is currently making xxx% of what the previous

Management team was making prior to Bankruptcy

In this upcomming contract, the Delta Pilots, who have contributed many

times MORE than all the other employee groups, combined, will be seeking

to be repaid for their selfless contributions to Delta's latest financial

success, since most of it was due in large part to their generosity.

Not sure how they do it for you young guy's. For us "old guy's" (over 50) they alternate payments. Maybe they alternate every other year for you. They don't care when you get the EKG, they just pay it on an alternate schedule.

But that's not the point at all, and you know it.
So, everyone who sits reserve is now, as you say, "gutter slime". Very professional sir......

In the middle of my second short call in a row sir... point is that I am sure you want your QOL in what should be the best time of your career to suck.. just for the money, right?

don't feed the troll.... don't feed the troll...

Um... it shouldn't matter... at all... ever. We are blue collar labor and make none of those purchasing decisions.
