The pay rate difference between bus and the -300 is quite small. When we had a 10% gap between the 190 and bus the most junior captains in the northeast were similar seniority on both planes. I assume it will be similar unless it’s something specific to do with bases. I also assume once we actually start taking planes that there won’t be many upgrades available on a shrinking fleet. Stranger things have happened though.
