The “long haul” XLR flying will pay what Delta’s 763 pays. I know we go back and forth on whether that’s “wide body” enough.
I imagine most senior BOS 737 CAs wouldn’t bid en masse for a theoretical BOS 320 CA because of some combination of zero desire to go to training and zero desire to incur a new seat lock.
On the other hand, if you live a drivable distance to BOS (seems every BOS pilot I meet lives in New Hampshire) and want “wide body” flying… not commuting to the 777 or 787 might be appealing.
