I disagree as we have more than replaced the 747 fleet plus a large margin of higher paying aircraft.
All the 764 does being on the higher pay scale is reduce the amount of pilots that can get a pay raise through their career.
We don’t have an intermediate pay aircraft we have WB and NB. In order to get WB pay you have to be sub 3000 as a CA. If the 764 was a pay scale lower then the top of the list would move up and the 767 would become more junior there bu increaseing the amount of pay you get over your career.
But it’s just my opinion it’s certainly not going to sway my vote on a future TA.
