But, then there's the 150% hazardous duty pay that we 767 drivers have no access to. A match to 747 rates would still result in less pay, and we'd still be schlepping empty cans on an 11.5 hour SYD-ICN leg with nothing but a jumpseat to rest in.
At least in my opinion, what needs to be fixed first is the seniority list. A rate match would help, but it'd simply be a bandaid.
