As it was explained to me they do not pay for your hotel and do not give per diem since you are not checked out. Either way, they don't. Starting pay is the best or second best to FedEx. (Keep in mind CAL, UPS and AMR are in the upper 20's to low 30's) SWA, FDX and DAL start in the 50's.

I am a military guy considering applying to Delta, I am really confused with the whole pay thing. I tried to search this but didn't find much, could someone just tell me in real number what a guy can plan on taking home in a year or month as a first year FO at Delta? Ie. First year pay is $54/ hr , do I just take that times 70 to get my monthly pay check? Or is there trip/ duty rig that would make this more or less? Thanks for the help
Couldn't tell if you're retiring or just departing. If you're not retiring, I highly recommend looking at the Guard/Reserves. A little extra $ and furlough insurance.
And like others have already said, count on 70hrs/month. Might pull more, but don't set your budget up for it.

Be careful with planning on more then 70 hours. I'm on the DC9 in Memphis and haven't had a green slip since July. I broke guarantee exactly 3 months this year. I'll break next month to, since Ii got a line. Different bases and different fleets will give you different results, but you can't go wrong with budgeting 70 hours.

Snowball's chance in hell. All of the new hires from this year all got 320's to MSP or DTW, 88's to MSP, NYC, or ATL and 9's to MSP, DTW, MEM. My class got to participate in the AE last sept and still no one moved very much. Just bases mostly

Keep your guard gig. But definitely apply to Delta. I spent 11 years active duty AF and am so happy I got out. The commercial side just makes more sense
