Depending on what side of the fence you are on 75/76 there is a different perspective. Separate bid packs essentially locks 75 guys out of wide body pay chances that would be around with a single bid pack. It guarantees guys in the 76 that like reserve to be paid at widebody rates. I can see the CGN pilots, Airbus Siba losing some of their flying to 76 bid pack flyers who revenue over to Europe and take up a week of their hubturns. Far cheaper to pay a 76 crew $50 more to fly the 75 around then to pay for the housing LOA or to deadhead a Bus crew over and back.

I wonder about training esp. IOE, Will crews be able to do most of thier IOE on the 75 with differences even if they hold 76. That would strongly hamper IOE bumping on the 76 right seat.

This will make the 76 a senior airplane on par with the other widebodies instead of the junior widebody it would be with a single bidpack. I would have liked a single bid pack with fences in the reserve lines for wb/nb pay, along with vacation/ sick paid for whichever trip you knocked out. Training and vac buyback at WB pay. Reserve lines would be proportional to the number of lines with ANY 76 flying on them. This would make the company strive for pure 76 lines to lessen reserve pay and let senior pilots avoid narrowbody pay during a line of flying.
Right now I think anybody on property could sit in a widebody if they wanted. I would like the flexibility that the MD guys have of their variety of flying and pay potential without having to fly that plane. This LOA doesn't give that to me without locking me out of one or the other.

Oh and although an interesting lead this is in no way a B scale. Everybody flying the 76 will have the same WB pay scale. Everybody flying the 75 will have the same NB rate or better.
