767ER domestic=2.415154 or 144.91 per hour
Night, speed and international pay were the same.
Weight pay was 3 cents per lb per hour. Weights set at 230k for the 57 and 407k for the ER.
Final rates as published in today's contract would be:
757 base 143.72
Hour/speed 13.24
Mileage 13.24
Weight 6.90
Total 177.10
767ERint base 145.72
Hour/speed 13.24
Mileage 13.24
Weight 12.21
Total 184.41
Difference 7.31 per hour
International/nav pay was 6.50 per hour. The L1011 international paid 207.34 per hour. The 767ER never paid close to the L1011
For the new hires the contractual par rates were that convoluted back then. Much easier when they went to one rate.
Interesting math. Still looking for the 1996 pay chart. But, in 1994, a 7ER Captain made a base rate that was 36 dollars per hour higher than an MD88 Captain. Today the difference is 19 dollars per hour. That's off higher rates, so adjusted for that it would be like making 40 dollars difference from the MD88 today. That gap went away because we took a huge cut on the 7ER fleet. As I said, we are flying it for what amounts to narrowbody rates.
It's interesting to look at those old pay charts, then factor in the touching trips, 6 weeks vacation for senior guys, 1 for 2, etc... we have a lot to recoup. I know the execs have kept up with inflation, and then some.
