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.

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!
