But it's more then just seating capacity since the company tailors seating configuration to the market an aircraft flies. We have 777-200's in the Hawaii configuration that seat only 10 pax less then our 747-400's. MTOW, range, speed etc should factor in to the pay rate (decision 83)...the 787(all variants) is a bigger, more capable aircraft then the 767.

If you want to do a strict, per individual airplane pay scale that reflects performance (range/speed) and size (using MTOW as the determinant), then it would look something like this.

747-400
777-300er
A350-1000
777-200
787-9/787-10 (same MTOW of -9, but larger with less range)
787-8
767-400
767-300
757-300
757-200
737-900
737-800
A320
A319
737-700

If you go strictly by seats then it would change to something like this:

https://flyingtogether.ual.com/web/C...leetCodes.xlsx

747 (374 seats)
777-300 (366 seats)
777-200 (Hawaii configuration-364 seats)
A350-1000 (unknown but anticipating around 330)
787-10 (unknown but it's larger then the -9, Boeing claims 323)
777-200 (266-269 depending on 2 class or 3 class)
787-9 (252)
767-400 (242)
757-300 (with slimline=231)
787-8 (219)
767-300 (2 class-214)
757-300 (non slimline-213)
767-300 (3 class-183)
737-900 (slimline-179)
757-200 (RR version-169)
737-800 (slimline-166 )
A320 (150)
757-200 (PS-142)
A319 (128)
737-700 (slimline 126, 118 without)

As you can see there are seating variations even within the same airframe. You sure you want to pay by seating configuration?
