We now here about the 757-200 paying the same as the 737/800/900/Max, but we don’t here many complaints from the senior 756 pilots who are making what the 777/787 pilots are making and still able to pick up domestic trips more often as they can fly the 757/767-300 domestic. Regardless of why we are where we are, it needs to change. I completely agree.
In the legacy United contract the 757 was banded up to the 767 rate, between airbus and 747/777. The only difference is that the 757s had to be same as guppy because of the disparities in the two pre-merger fleets. There is no reason the 757 shouldn’t be pay banded up with the 767, but now its too late. At least the lame SLI argument failed.
