I understood your post, I was just posting my thoughts on aircraft flexibility, even if the hiring is a wash.

Ours won't have a flight deck. Fred is purchasing them as the first, commercially available, Remotely Piloted Aircraft.

But what about all the guys already committed to Starting
The training and flying the aircraft. You know the ones already
Wearing the 767 neck thingy. All without a payrate, man we
Are our own worst enemy.

Serious question: why wouldn't it just fit into existing wide body pay?
