Listing of Airline Salaries in the USA

Check out Delta's Senior Captain Salary. I think you could live comfortably on that in Atlanta, Georgia.

Another stupid 'pilot salaries are the cause of airline's woes' comment.hz2p wrote:What's interesting is that there is a inversely proportional relationship between what a pilot earns, and the financial health of the airline.
Hmmm.
Have you actually looked at the numbers? Based on the info from that site, a 12 yr Southwest 737 Capt. makes $165,400 + profit share while a 12 yr Delta 737 Capt makes $180,200 + no profit share.
By your simplistic reasoning SW should be right on Delta's heels to financial ruin. Last I checked they were doing quite well.
Many airlines in Canada and the US have failed when paying substantially less than the top levels. Mismanagement is always a far bigger player than salaries. Salaries are just the easiest target.
Did I say that? You stated that a companies financial health was tied to the wage the pilots earned. I disagreed that wages are the root of the problem.hz2p wrote:...
How about I agree with you, that a company's expenses has nothing to do with their profitability?
The point is, a companies expenses extend far beyond the wages paid.
