They will all get paid the same. The question is will the 757 driver actually go to a regional. They did the last time they got furloughed, but many friends of mine who were previously furloughed are looking elsewhere and no one is going back to the regionals. Also, it won't be a 757 Captain rather than a typed FO getting furloughed.
