United flies all 76 variants in one category, but pays the 764 like a "pure" WB right?
What I've never understood at DL is in the 7ER category we pay the 763, 763ER, 752 and 753 all the same rate. Meanwhile in the 320 category, I had a diff pay rate for the 319/20, 321 and 321Neo
321 Neo pays the same as a 767-300ER but if you're not in a NEO, it pays a good chunk less.
Why one fleet has 3 pay rates over 4 airframes, and the other has 1 for 3 airframes and used to be 4/5, (no more non ER 763 or 762s) has never made sense to me.
