PSA has pay blending because all of their pilots can fly the large and small RJs (same type rating). Also about 1/4 of their fleet is the small RJ, while 2/3 of our fleet is the small RJ.
Also, APC does talk about the pay banding in the pay notes. From the website:
"Envoy uses seniority-based pay banding for captains regardless of actual aircraft flown (i.e. E175 pay band, CRJ pay band, EMB pay band). The size of the pay band is determined by the staffing required for the number of aircraft within the band. "
