Whatever. But remember that when those 747s are gone.. they ain't being replaced with anything that pays the same or more. That will meet the definition of "paycut" for many many pilots. If you can reconcile that as being smart, then good for you. I think it's blatantly idiotic, but I'm on my retirement airplane (hopefully) so I couldn't care less if they take paycuts, but there is real potential that they could cause me to take one because they will displace me out of my seat... The attachment of our pay to the revenue generation of the airframe baffles me no end. We do not choose the airplanes, nor how to utilize them. That is a management decision. We push throttles, nothing more. period.

Have at it.
