Sounds like the credit hours for a 767 guy are actually close to the normal on the 747 - obviously the pay is 16% less per hour. So if the company did offer the same pay for 767 FO's they might stop a lot of the movement which will inevitably happen when the seat locks are up.
I actually agree with one of our EXCO members on the single pay rate issue; it'd actually be leaving money on the table.
Obviously, the 747 generates much more revenue than a 767. If the company were to agree to pay us 767 drivers the 747 rates, then that tells us they could afford to significantly increase 747 rates. UPS actually could significantly increase their top-end rates if they weren't paying everyone a blended rate, as well.
My personal issue is the seniority disparity, not the 16% pay differential. And of course, working on bringing both rates up to par with our peers in 2016.
