No bump, no flush, but the traditional concept of "wide body" is likely to be changed in this SLI. 767's and A330's are held by VERY junior pilots (even new-hires in some cases) and do a good bit of flying that isn't true long haul, so protections there may be blurred. On the other hand, 777 and 787 on the AA side is very senior and thus "size" may not be the future litmus, but "long haul" flying typically done by 777, 787 and perhaps a portion of A330 on the East. If fences occur (protections), I'd expect them to be for Group IV 777, 787 and perhaps a portion of East A330 depending on future usage of that aircraft. 767 (757) won't likely have any fences (nor will A330 F/O), of course 757/767 aircraft is likely to have only 5-7 years left or so and ultimately replaced by A319's and A321's which are no different then the 737 pay-wise.

The majority of our future fleet will be Group II compensation (737, Airbus variants) with Group IV the long-haul "pinnacle" for pay. Group I is a wild card. Right now with only 20 aircraft in a 900+ aircraft fleet, that wouldn't seem to be a sustainable fleet and unless expanded significantly would likely be eliminated.
