763 pays nearly the same as 737 and the 763 has less productive trips on average. So even without PPU I’d make more money on the 737 mainly because of (1) lots more productive trips, (2) better relative seniority, and (3) more open time opportunities.

Seniority wise, the top 20-30% of the 756 fleet could fly mostly 764 stuff. Up to about 50% gets to see some 763 stuff. Bottom 50% gets paid the same as 737 other than a couple dollars/hour higher blended rate for reserves.

At the end of the day, it was nice having these types of choices. Like 1 leg days? Like PPU? Like weekends off? Hate flying at night? Is $7/hr more on the 756 worth 50% less seniority? I guess my point is that moving off the 756 isn’t going to be a pay cut for everyone involved. Even if PPU and open time all go away.
