I have similar thoughts each time we park the 747-400 next to that cute little twin, the Triple Seven. Really?!

Just curious, do you have to turn sideways to get your head through 1L? If I parked next to a 190 I would wish that those guys had the same pay as me. Really!
Kidding of course. At DL we are fighting the 321 rate battle right now, and there's rumor that we're ordering the 4000 nm range version soon (NEO I guess) for Europe. Can't get much more B-757 replacement than that! Our 190 rates should be self-resolving with zero negotiating capitol, if they want actual pilots to occupy at least the left seat. To get the program spooled up, they are offering initial cadre guys current seat/equipment rate as opposed to our lousy book rate ($139 I think).
At times the banding like you guys have looks attractive, until the pay matches the lessor aircraft in the band. Not sure what the answer is, aside from fighting the good fight with the cards you're dealt. Wishing you guys good luck bringing the rest of it together, especially SLI.
