... and of course feel free to ignore it. If payscales were purely based on years of service, would that make these mergers go easier? DOH could theoretically be given for bidding purposes, but it really wouldn't matter because if you have been an airline pilot for 20 years, whether you be flying 737 or 777 your pay would be the same. I think the surprise that everyone would see is that some of the narrowbody flying (at DAL it would be the ATL 737) would be unbelievably senior. Caribbean turns and home every night vs 12 day multiple ocean crossings.... Of course one really big difference between us and you is that you have a billion super premium widebodies, and we have a few... but the underlying premise is still sound...

Just wondering what ya'll thought about the idea.
