Would it be safe to assume, in addition to the lower pay rate, the majority of that aircraft's flying are those serious night-shift runs through MEM that earlier posters were describing?
You definitely get a better schedule with the 767.
On the 757 you'll get more two leg AM out and backs or 3 leg hub turns. Most of the 767 days seem to be one or two legs max. I am new on the 767.
On the 767 you see a little more international and that's going to be expanding. VCP is a 767 trip and they're going to be starting to do Atlantic crossings in it soon. There's also some lines now where you commercial to Paris and fly out of there for a week and then commercial home. Keep in mind that all of that is super senior. It is expanding though. You might be able to hold it on a secondary in 3 or 4 years.
