That was a concession in the 2006 contract, which can be rectified
When introduced to their fleets, the vast majority of carriers paid (pay) their 757 pilots at a rate above their basic 737/727 narrow body pay rates
Yup - 757 paid as a 727 is a joke.
Maybe we could finally put that -380 pay rate to use with a pay graph. Plot -380 pay/MTOGW and 777 pay/MTOGW and draw a line. Trend the line back to 757 MTOGW. I get about $242/hour(based on our current contract). Not quite to UPS rates, but certainly better than what we conceded to in 2006.
