But we also have pilots flying 700Klbs class airplanes making the same as pilots flying 300Klbs. Either you believe in a single pay rate (UPS) or you believe in pay bands (ALPA mantra) paying more for higher gross weight/higher revenue generating aircraft. At FedEx, we have neither.

I know many senior folks who would love to exercise their seniority and fly back and forth to home every day/night on the 757, but they can't afford the pay cut.

Your bit about "choosing seniority over money" makes no sense to me.

Oh but I know, "what would we have to give up to have single pay rates?"

How about getting rid of all the passover pay/training slot denial crap language which is a hassle for us and company and score higher payrates for everyone? Once you have everyone trained, there's going to be very little moving around/training between NB FO, WB FO, WB CA, and WB CA.

Since when has a union ever said that you could have a "good deal" but you're going to have to pay for it?

I know my opinion isn't shared by many here, but that's how I see it and that's why our 757 pilots will never make what UPS pilots make.
