Flown the 737, 727, 757/767, 747-400 and the 777.

Hands down I preferred the 777, not that any of the others listed are bad.

HSLD

The generic ALPA formula considers aircraft seating capacity, gross weight, range, and speed in the productivity equation. That's why ALPA contracts pay to equipment and the long haul heavy aircraft have higher pay rates.

Contrast that to UPS which pays to seniority, and you see [many] old guys opting to fly in one or two time zones (the way it should be!).

Joke son... sorry you didn't get it...

I have no doubt that a CAL 73 pilot can generate more revenue on a 4-day trip than a 777 guy during the same period. If you compare the two on revenue per block hour flown, I bet you'd see the 777 take a strong lead.

If you have flown any other Boeing like the 757, 767, or 777 you'd understand what I mean. I've flown the 737 series from the right and left seats and it is "Crappy" in many ways compared to more modern airliners. No, the NG's are not modern enough. You can put glass in anything.

Very impressive list.

I've always found this funny. Pilots don't "generate" revenue. Pilots fly the plane from point A to point B and get paid whatever their MEC/NC can get for them. And as was mentioned, it's based on various factors.

Marketing and a whole bunch of other suit types generate revenue.

Hmmm..........

I wonder how they do that once the passengers board the plane? I guess you are correct about suits "generating" the revenue.

But if the pilots don't show up I'm guessing the revenue is going to have to be refunded because no one is going to go anywhere.
