I'm going to suggest this one more time at the risk of riddicule. But, at NWA the 757 is very much like the widebody flying that you do at DAL. You can wind up in Europe, Hawaii, or Asia.
But now I realize that you guys are more concerned with pay and not type of flying.
As you can see from our list, all widebody NWA pilots can hold a higher paying position. (Ok, close. -400 pay is pretty much the same as DC-9 Capt. pay) But, once they get on the 330 or 747, they are hooked.
I think part of the culture here comes as a direct result of the Republic merger. After seeing all the friction go on for years and years, I think we value seniority above everything. All we've heard and seen since we have ben here is stories about Red Book guys flying left seat with Green book pilots as their FO's that were senior to them. (Seen it. Not pretty.)
Maybe that's the problem with merging our groups. We have different priorities.
