I will say I just looked at my end of August paycheck last year vs this year. I am up over $20,000 this year. I have worked a hell of a lot more and we still received a full profit sharing check this year though. There is no denying that my paychecks have gotten bigger. It's still not enough though.

4 of the first 66 isn't too bad. That's to be expected. Most of them were born in the 1950s. A few in the 1940s and 1960s but on average it's guys born in the 50s which means they are ages are well into 50s and approaching 60s. For them going to Delta for a 5-10 year career isn't worth it.

TOGAANG,
You really seem to "get it", as far as the hiring process and classy attitude you display.
Delta has hired a slew of former military pilots and I think it's fair to say those making the hiring decisions know that it isn't just about number of hours. They understand the military system, and give credit for quality of jobs held such as leadership positions, etc.
With seven LOR's I'm cautiously optimistic your application will rise to the top. I hope to fly with you, preferably soon. Good Luck!

I'm working more this year too.
There's no doubt that the trend is higher pay through higher productivity.
I value time off more than most I guess. I really miss the old 75 hour cap.
We've lost a lot of advancement opportunities being so "productive".
I'd much rather be on higher paying equipment working 75 hours than be at a lower rate working 85. I'm clearly in the minority though.
This "Delta Hiring" thread would be 2 years old now if we didn't have all the 100 hour "ladies of the night" doing their thing.
And don't get me started on the profit sharing giveback. It'll be interesting to see the final numbers on what we lost this year. Anderson and Bastian were just a step ahead of Olmstead. That's pretty much all there is to that.
Whooped "em again Josie.

I know my chance will come at some point, i just hope it's before my old man retires and I pass the interview.
Cheers
I look forward to flying with you and all the other pilots as well. Seems the morale at Delta is good and only improving.

Do you think DAL views military duty as "community service?" Between my guard job and airline flying I'm left with little time for much else.
I also assume it's still black suit, red tie and shiny shoes for the interview.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a chance.
