So if the 737's made a huge gain on WB pay in the past and that gain is still evident today, is that necessarily a bad thing?

The difference between ER and 737 pay is of less concern to me than the difference between the ER and the A330/765. Without taking the time to run the math again, I'm pretty sure it's the largest percentage difference in the fleet.
