It wouldn't pay 777 pay, but it would pay more than the large RJ pay currently on our pay scale because they are bigger than that.
And by OWNED I mean our scope owned it. Period. That was our flying. Period. And we gave it away.
Does it matter to our scope if any given 777 is owned or leased by DL or a third party? No. If its in revenue service for DL then WE own the right to fly it. That's the point.
That was our flying and we gave it away for nothing. Now the company is blurring the lines with "regular" DL passengers and their private jets. Who knows how far this will go. What happens if a couple percent of our highest value HVC's switch over to a non union shop flying planes we used to own the scope to but gave away.
