Factually inaccurate. The 756 pays more than the 737. Only the 737-8/9 pays the same as the 752. Also, the assumption is that 3 day trips on the 756 are all only 15 hours and 4 day trips on the guppy are all 21-24 hrs. Actually, 756 trips average more pay per day than the gupster does AND the plane pays more.
The ONLY advantage of the guppy is better seniority movement because 1) It pays less than 756 and 2) Lots of up and down flying instead of longer flights and shorter duty days on the 756 fleet.
