Is keeping the NB payrate wrong because our progression has slowed? Progression has slowed all over. We used to have a lot of crew members on narrowbody SO and FO pay and some on widebody SO pay. Express flying is not growing like it used to. It would be great to return to the recent past of pay raises you wanted them. FO in a year, widebody FO in two and CA in five.
The single pay rate would help fill in the gap that we have in our career earnings due to slower progression. Nice dream. But those who seriously propose this must account for the cost.

The biggest opposition for a single payrate has come from our own leadership

The first B767 bid pack will be published for the September bid month. It will contain regular lines, secondary lines and reserve lines. All flying will be in the 757 until November when the first 767 is introduced to line operations. The plan for the first three aircraft is: ATL-MEM-ATL, SJC-MEM-SAN, SAN-MEM-SJC, and SAN-IND-SAN. As with all plans, this is subject to change.
