The only big difference should be a type that goes international (besides Canada and Mexico). Those flight requires very different training. Besides that, there's really no reason why one airplane should pay more than another.
Maybe I was somewhat misunderstood. I'm talking about base salaries. If the company feels that the value added to the company and level of responsibilities are greater with a 777 or 737 and want to pay more amen...but the notion of the original question..."how much more do FOs
NEED to make..." is disheartening. There should be a baseline pilot salary PERIOD!
