I have heard a lot of talk for an against that idea. Both sides of the issue have very good points. I know that at CAL the 757 is a Long Narrow but the 767 is a wide, which leads to another composite rate. My point is that even there they have issues with it. It is something that should be discussed though.
What I do know is a lot of ppl do not want to allow jets bigger than the 777/744 to be lumped in with that rate and with good cause.
