does it matter? The captain cannot waive your contractual rights. I don't care what the captain says, I am getting my 8 hours behind the door.

As I read the Contract Comparison, I wondered if we have an Executive Compensation Comparison. I'd like to know how our executives' pay compares to our peer airlines' execs, and I'd like to know how the ratio of the executive compensation package to the pilot compensation package compares with that of other airlines.

I also wonder how how big a shareholder voting bloc the pilots are.

Has anyone looked into this?

A senior Captain at Delta made somewhere around 160 to 180 thousand a year back then. The average total compensation package for our CEO's were around 500,000.00 a year.
Richard Anderson in his first 18 months as the CEO Of Delta earned 29 million dollars in total compensation.

Yes I am a CA. However the contract does not make a distinction between Captains and FO's. If you want 8 hours behind the door take it. Its your contract.
