Please explain.
I fly double deadhead, week long Indy turns. A TAFB trip in a 727 or one of those two man airplanes mentioned as possible replacements would pay precisely the same. My pay wouldn't change one iota.
Now if you're referring to the overall narrowbody payroll, since the engineers would be elminated, then you are correct; it would be lower. But nearly all other airlines have done this same thing a while ago.
And for the record, I'm not excited about it. A tube filled with boxes is still just a tube filled with boxes.
