Air Europe upgrade
for Whatsalizad:
I came in as a direct entry captain as most captains did. The Italians were very reluctant to promote their own kind from the right-hand seat. I retired a few years ago after reaching 60. If it had not been for the French many of us could have gone on to 65.
The salary figures I quoted for Delta was based on salaries two years ago. I would have thought that the present salaries have been reduced due to across the board salary concessions from the union. I really don't know. I see in the press that current pensioners may not get their pension this month. It is a really sad mess. I would have taken as much of my 401 out of the pension fund as soon as retired.
