Well, you know what that Patrick Henry said centuries ago.

At this point, I think there's a lot of pilots that would be happy to see Delta get IL-76s or AN-2s if Delta pilots would be the ones flying them....

Yep, the 739 will pay more. The 738 paid more than the -700 for awhile. I can't remember the resolution on that but they brought the pay scales together at some point. Seems that Quito and/or international pay rings a bell.

I'd love to see the 321s if they were growth aircraft or RJ replacements, but not as a 757 replacement. I doubt it's in the cards anyway, if we wanted A321s we could have them tomorrow, don't need Kingfisher to dump theirs.

Hummmm....

Then would we be beoching about getting new (used), little airplanes?

I was very dissapointed in the last T/A, that they didn't put the 717 at the same rate as the MD88/90. What I would like to see is, all the narrow bodies, pay the same, and all the wide bodies pay the same. The arguement you make to management is, it will save you a Bazzillion dollars in training, and will reduce the need to hire, since fewer pilots will be locked up in training.
Well, we kind of set up an incentive there to get rid of the 88s didn't we? Raise 88 pay to 90 pay? Hooray! But maybe its encouragement to get rid of the 88 and push all those pilots to the lesser paying 717.

Of course, there is a catch. The 88/90 both pay less than a category where 45% of the airplanes are 34 seats smaller than the 90 and the rest are 11 seats smaller.

So that may make those rates palatable and buy us some extra time with the elongated never die 9.

So should the 757 be paid less than the -ER?

T,

It all depends on how you phrase it!! I'll answer by saying the -ER should be paid more than it is now!!!
