757 and guppy payrates the same? Not prior to the merger.
Of course the side that demanded those and then tried (unsuccessfully) to have them affect SLI sure thought they were a GREAT idea.
Lets see, who had those 767-400s and guppies that they wanted to make seem like they were bigger aircraft than they really were?
I'm surprised during SLI that the CAL MC didn't hold a big magnifying glass up to those airplanes so that the arbitrators could see how big they really were.
There are senior pilots on all airplanes that would rather stay where they are rather than bid a new seat to chase $$$. Making each pay band wider allows this and reduces training events, a win-win...
