Keep in mind with any new pay system, the overall payroll will have to stay the same. Delta is not going to pay more for it's pilots because we have seniority based pay. You can't magically increase the number of pilots who are getting 777/747 pay. For every pilot that gets more money in a new system, another pilot will be getting less.
So putting the methodology aside for a moment. You believe that having the biggest airplane pay more is the best way to go? Really? You must be a) young, and b) senior.
