Just to play devil’s advocate here. Let’s say that you have 2 airlines flying four sector days on a four day trip. In fact both crews are staying at the same hotel and taking the same hotel van to and from all airports during the four day period. Airline “A”, a regional carrier operates an RJ that seats about 100 passengers. Airline “B “, a major carrier operates a Boeing 737-500 that seats about 122 passengers. Both crews perform the same tasks during the day. Both crews are scheduled for an 11 hour duty day in the northeast during winter operations. Is it fair to say that both crews deserve the same pay since they are performing the same tasks? Should the crew of the 737 earn more pay since their aircraft, because it’s a Boeing?
