That is no longer the case. There were no contractual changes when the company switched the 767 to all ER categories and eliminated the domestic.

Yeah, but only had an occasional transcon in some of the winter months, not every year either. I was A310 then ER from day one. You're misrepresenting what the NYC 767ER category was.

the ER was historically a discreet international category systemwide.

it was a contractual concession to create the hybrid category that now exists.

contemporarily...we actually had pilot 'experts' also advocating folding the 765 into the new hybrid category.

What domestic flying did the NYC 7ER category have back in 1999-2004?

Also some 2 day trips. I remember I flew a SLC trip and went skiing in Park City right after the Olympics.

I didn't actually fly those trips, the company just paid me for them out of the goodness of their heart!

I lived in SLC then. Bid everyone I could get to layover at home. According to the forum however it was all a dream!

That would make JB happy. He could bid reserve and get the higher pay rate.

The category opened 92-93, Olympics were 2002. It was 99℅ international flying.

Agreed. Certainly nowhere near as much domestic flying as there has been the last, what, 4-5 years? It was just occasionally some domestic before that. But still, they did pop them in during the winter sometimes.
