Hello Captain Obvious. I guess you don't understand the concept of seniority.
Some previous poster stated that the B767-400 is a junior airplane. That is patently untrue!
Looking at December bid awards for EWR shows that the top 25% of the base bid 767-400 trips. Every single one of them can hold 777 Captain anywhere in the system. I would assume that at any 756 base where the -400 is deployed a similar situation would exist.
And for those who think that putting the 76-400 in the WB pay category leads to lower pay in the other widebody planes, the evidence is simply not there. Pattern bargaining across the industry is what determines those rates. Look at American, Delta and United rates for WB CA and they don't differ by more than a couple of dollars. The inclusion of the 76-400 in those rates makes no difference whatsoever.
