Common Bafanguy,
Delta have 786 aeroplanes. They have 158 widebodies. Of which only 127 are 767/330. So if you could be in the top 3% of the 12430 pilot body, you could be a 777 skipper on good pay and be able to fly one of their 18 777s. Or even in the top 10% and be a 767/330 skipper on a decent salary.
I think this is why the older fellas are looking but not jumping. Good opportunity for the younger fellas though.
Salaries here are a bit hard to work out. Recent conversation showed two capts with same year in rank. One with TRE allowance and housing allowance, the other in company accommodation and line pilot. The take home of the TRE and housing allowance pilot divided by 88 was $255. The take home of the other was $173. Could cause a different opinion of how things are.
