I think Starship is correct. The pay scales were established by ALPA a few generations ago and serve only to complicate bidding and run up training costs for the company. This excess bid is a fine example of redundant training costs and seat movement. Excessing out of the 777 to then move pilots into the 777. Ridiculous!
One pay scale that only differentiates left seat and right seat and longevity would eliminate much of this musical chairs: guys getting knocked out of seats within one year of having been trained in that seat. What a waste of money!
