As for widebody pay, I consider the the 765,330, 777, & 747 to be more in line with what widebody pay should be. No offense meant to the pay on the 767er/767/757. I can never figure out what the er pay is anyway, can some one explain the pay diff between the er and 767/757 category or is there one? Maybe that would clear the skies for me.

Really... REALLY?!?!?!?! Are you gonna start this crapola again? Well I have a bigger watch than you. Gaaaaaaaaaah

Now where did I stick all of those European Charts......

Are you going to input your 737 distance learning and get paid for it?

If my calculations are correct it looks like these were added to the MSP lineup:
MSPm88B (36 pilots)
MSP7ERB (85 pilots)

The 22D2 Report off this bid called for:
MSPm88B (194 pilots)
MSP7ERB (228 pilots)

The AE was calling for
MSPm88B (74 vacancies)
MSP7ERB (20 vacancies)

I counted 34 or so MSP88B, and 20 or so that bid off, so only a net gain of about 14. I should be a line holder after the new hires if they want 194.

I guess they can plan on offloading some of the MSP flying onto the other bases and deal with it until new hires are brought on board. Should be a good couple of months to GS for the m88.

Maybe they left the staffing high on the ER because they are expecting more flying on it in the future. Or maybe they figured if they were going to displace people from the ER, they would get pay protected. Maybe they figured it was better to have them on the ER where they could maybe expand the flying vs. training them and putting them on a narrowbody - then to only move them back to the ER (or whatever they want) when retirements kick in. Just some ideas.
