The big picture. The above kind of thinking kills me. Because we have a fence we can not get any more 777 or 747s. Who cares. The best movement for the entire pilot group is a new ship at the top pay scale. That opens seat all the way down the food chain. Who would most likely bid the 747A seat? Probably a 330A guy, now who can bid that seat??? Who will probably bid a 777A seat? Probably a 765A guy and now who can bid that seat? In the interest of keeping peace, there is a lot of validity to keeping the 747 around until the fences come down. .
