[QUOTE=Iver;9888891]Delta is the most profitable airline in the world. I imagine this is beneficial to the airline in terms of bulk purchasing and best practices. Too bad VS pilots can't match the Delta pilot pay - I met one senior 20-year 767 FO (MAN layover) who made $400K last year![/QUOTE
I met a senior 767 Captain ABX Airborne Express (STN layover) that made $685,000 last year.
And they are just a $200/hour airline. Admitidly he worked nearly every day, but still!
Imagine what a Delta Captain with 12 years seniority at $330/hour can make. I believe the majority are on half a mill plus, without even trying.
