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.
I thought it was NALPA's position that pay doesn't matter in constructing a seniority list. So why are we even having this discussion? From a purely selfish perspective it would be great if the SLI were determined by premerger pay rates Is that really a discussion you want to have, because all the NWA A320s/319s and DC-9s pay less than MD-88 rates and would therefore be classified as small narrow bodied aircraft and all DAL 777s pay super duper premium wide bodied rates and would be ranked ahead of the 747-400. Nevermind the fact that DAL 757s have the same effective pay rate as a NWA A330.
