How should we change it though t? Should we average to the 757 in pay? Exactly how should we attain your dream?

Like Scambo said. 777/350/330/764 all pay the same.
AAL's bands would be a good start.
We have to look at career earnings guys because the DB retirement is dead. You don't have the luxury to stay really really really senior on junior metal and suck it up in your last year to bump up your retirement. TVM is real, and it is calculable. (I am not talking about the contract here vis a vis hourly pay increases, but rather big picture retirement funding). You have to fund as much as you can, as early as you can or you will be behind. This is another reason that the 2017 increase to the 401k is so puzzling to me. Why on earth would we wait a whole year to see that?
