Want to see what Delta pilots made in 1994?
 

I have access to the 1994 Delta pay scales. The current TA is a slap in the face when you look at the 1994 scales.

DC-9 1994 2012(jul in TA) 18yr pay raise

captain 158.73 169.57 10.84

FO 108.41 115.81 7.40

MD88 1994 2012(jul new TA) 18 yr pay raise

captain 161.79 178.58 16.79

FO 110.50 121.97 11.47

I will be posting more when I get the time. I scanned the pay scales from 1994 into my computer but cannot figure out how to post all of them on this site. I will ask my 8 year old how to do that tomorrow. Hopefully I can figure it out sooner than later. If not just ask me via PM what scales you want to know about and I will tell you when I can.

MY VOTE IS NO.

For someone unfamiliar with the format seamonster, how do I read the 3 numbers across?

I think you go left to right. Hoooah

In the Air Force they taught us to go from left to right. :) Looks like 1st number is 1994 rates, 2nd number is new TA rates, and third is raise over 18 year period (or difference) between the 2.

Without taking inflation into account, of course.

I got the left foot first part from drill :D
Ah....two different pay rates from past and present.
Thanks all.

Using the CPI since 1994 reveals:
DC9
CA: 158.73(1994) == 247.13(2012)
FO: 108.41(1994) == 168.78(2012)
MD88
CA: 161.79(1994) == 251.89(2012)
FO: 110.50(1994) == 172.04(2012)

Reference CPI numbers(Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics)
U.S. Price Inflation 1994-2012
1994 = 2.6%
1995 = 2.8%
1996 = 3.0%
1997 = 2.3%
1998 = 1.6%
1999 = 2.2%
2000 = 3.40%
2001 = 2.8%
2002 = 1.6%
2003 = 2.3%
2004 = 2.7%
2005 = 3.40%
2006 = 3.2%
2007 = 2.8%
2008 = 3.8%
2009 = -0.4%
2010 = 1.6%
2011 = 3.2%

Another small point on inflation; The effects of inflation are compound. So if you add all the above years up you get 44.9% - but the TRUE rate of inflation over that period of time is actually 55.69%.

The pay scales that I posted are for 12th year.
