I agree on the 737 and 767. 75/76 should be a larger premium over the Guppy.
I seem to layover at the same hotels in south America as 787 crews do.
Point is : what does the 787 carry passenger wise? What does the 767-300 carry? pretty friggin similar.
767-300 pilots are getting screwed big time!! Pay for those pilots should be what a 767-400 is paying.
ATC seems to call that aircraft "heavy" in their clearances.
an all night, 11 hour global flight over the mountains and the amazon and through all that crappy weather shouldn't be paying crappy 737 pay! PERIOD DOT End of story. If the NC doesn't get it, fire them! I am sick and tired of this insanity.
It really is a wide body aircraft, doing a wide body mission.
