Sorry, Mike, but if your bud is telling the truth about flying 76's
for Delta, he's doing $4K/week not month. Not even the yesterday hire
FE on a Fokker is making as little as$48K/year.

Those flying for Delta Connection probably do.

Well, just to ping you, since you ping me on equipment below, Delta
Connection isn't operating 76's.

Except my remark here was related to the comment about "yesterday hire FE on
a Fokker" who do probably make a lot less than $48K.

Old F-105 bud of mine just retired (mandatory) last year from Delta
after flying 747-400s.

He wasn't flying for Delta if he was in 747-400's, Delta's equipment
includes 777's, 767-200/-300/-400, MD-11, 757-200 .... The top of the
heap
at Delta should be on 777's and 767-300ER/-400ER's

Musta been 767-400ER since he was doing the Trans-Lant runs out of
Atlanta. Cal Tax, mentioned in Fast Movers by John Sherwood. Flew his
F-105 tour out of Tahkli in '67. Still comes to River Rats most every
year. First class guy.

It's a job that never interested me. Guess money wasn't that
important. But, if I had it to do over again, I might have made a
different choice....nahh!
