5 years ago the catering cost of providing passenger meals ranged from $10 in coach to $33 in business class. Adjusted for inflation you are looking at $15-$50 per meal. Multiply that by a 3 day trip and yes, the cost to Delta of providing pilot meals is equivalent to the net cost of PSC.

I'm also skeptical about it being a linear increase.

3 rd break, not a big deal, I’ll make it up there when I make it up there. First break, I’m halfway undressed and ready to leave the cockpit passing 10k’. Just joking, I follow the FOM.

I can’t decided between the 350 and the 330. I can hold both with pretty good seniority. I’ve been looking at the bid packs for a while and am familiar with that. I know the flight decks are different but can anyone give me their take on the “other things” such as bunks, jumpseats, co-workers, etc.? Thanks!
If you’re coming from a Boeing, 350. I went from 777, 330, 350. Wish I just did 777, 350. Similar bid packages to the 777.

This! If I could have done nothing but 3-day AMS trips, where I took the first flight of the day to AMS and the last flight coming home, I'd get back to the 330 and never leave. You can easily spend the entire trip on your normal body clock. What was killer was taking the the last DTW departure of the night (2200ish?)...I was always a zombie on those. 6-day W trips were also terrible on sleep/fatigue for me.
