My pay category is 76B, there is no 75B. When you see a Delta 757, think 767 because it pays 767.
The 787 is most similar to a 767ER in capacity, isn't it? So NWA was heading that direction.
I understand that you don't have a 75B payscale but I guess I think the argument is a little stronger that the 767ER was actually brought closer to the 757 pay than the other way around.
When compared to other delta aircraft the 76ER is $21/$14 (CA/FO) less than the 764 (widebody)and only $6/$4 more than the 737NG (narrow body).
United does it the same as delta but Continental and American both have them separate. NWA does have the 787 on order but they put it's pay on the widebody side and not closer to the 757.
