That is great for those 767 and lower, but bad for those 767 and higher as there is nothing left above them.

If the 321 neo starts taking over 757 routes it makes me wonder what the 7er bid package will start to look like. Especially in Atlanta where they seem to be sending them all and adding to the category.

Ask the DTW ER guys. No international for them that originates in their base in Feb or so I read.

He's addressed that before - the answer was that it wouldn't do any good because (a) a decent amount of people don't finalize their bid until near the deadline and (b) all it does is annoy people because they would cry, " but I held that position a week/a day/an hour" before the bid closed.

3% of our pilot group are at the top Capt pay rate, 7% if you include the 330/764 and only 20% of the group are even above our 7ER rate. It would be an interesting to see what we think a banded pay scale would look like here and cost out a normal career.

Is my bypass to the A350 included those percentages? Perhaps it's 3% holding the categories. I'm not in the category, but I'm at the "top Capt pay rate" you describe.
