Well, since 757s will eliminate narrow body SOs (lowest pay in the pilot force,) and we continue to buy WB aircraft (Airbus, MD11, and MD10 conversions,) our overall average pay will increase, especially as 380s arrive, with their higher than WB pay rate. Even though you get the same pay for any aircraft seat, you will see an increase in average pay as SOs disappear with the 72s and DC8s, but won't see an increase from your 380s.
