Someone came back and said it isn't included with the 757, the 757 is included with the 76ER and that's how I should look at it. When I looked at the payscales, as I previously posted, it seemed to be the other way around.
That was me.. and it is really a matter of semantics. I prefer, believe it or not, to consider the glass half full.

I also don't think the 747 should be thought of greater than the 777 or the dc9 should be stapled because it's a little smaller. The argument of super premium and stapled dc9's is foolish. Hopefully the arbitrators are smart enough to see beyond childish antics.
You sir.. are correct.
