Since they are getting displaced from their equipment, they will most likely all go to the 744, because the 767 has a lower pay scale.
Some might however have bid the 767 if they feel that they could hold higher relative seniority on it than the 744.
They can therefore bump the junior 744 guys out of equipment and base if the vacancies don't exist...

When you compute the lower pay scale of the 76, with a likely chance one would be pulling monthly grnty every month, without a PBS system and just bidding hard lines with little flex for pilot induced QOL schedule changes ... then compare it to 74 rates and being able to pull in 80 (or more) hours a month ... it makes it appear the pay gap widens pretty quickly between the fleets.

Short answer.
If you are only making min guarantee, then you are not gone more than 13 days (306.9 hours TAFB).
Exceptions, training or sick days.
The other four days would then have to be home reserve (R1) and get NO crt credit.

Saw an Atlas 767 at the international terminal in EWR yesterday. Man that is a sharp looking bird! Went over to see if I could chat with the crew but they were already loaded up. Still looked sharp though!

Hey TrustMonkey, are you XJT? Because I did see both of Atlas' 74 and 76 parked next to each other in terminal B when I was taxiing in yesterday morning. And yes, I did go over to terminal B to see if I could meet the crew as well lol. The aircraft did look quite sharp and stood out from the rest.

From back in my ATA days...Indy had four big weeks each year. Three of them involved car racing of course and the fourth was, believe it or not, the annual Star Wars convention. During those times the rates at all hotels went through the roof. Bad news if you had reserve then. Even the Motel 6 went from $45 to $180 a night.
