How did you reach that conclusion from my post?

It wasn't just from your post. All the "super premium" biggest must pay the mostest blah blah blah stuff.. same old thing. It is less than 2% of our flying...

Dude, that's my concern! (fewer pilots making the bigger money)

As we shift 757 flying to the (potentially) lower paying 321neo, we will have fewer pilots making the 7ER money and more pilots on the (potentially) lower paying 321neo flying the replacement missions.

The 320 pay is abysmal in this context....

Longevity pay... simplicity at it's finest.

Less is more - Mies Van der Rohe

But why stop there?
In the Bauhausian spirit how about per trip pay ;-)

Interesting, considering that we just got a note from ops about how we were bringing 2 -300ERs out of the desert for LHR service and were adding ER positions on the next AE to handle it. Where did this quote come from? Were there any corresponding reductions in -400 flying? Sounds like the -400 guys won't be doing hardly anything other than LHR.

Might be taking some aircraft out of service for a short period to put lie flat seats in them, so perhaps the flying is being shuffled around a little, which might be why those ERs came out of the desert earlier than expected. One other possibility is that advanced bookings might be stronger through LHR. Regardless, the new mantra is fleet flexibility.

Those schedules are in the 20DEC10 GDS load.
...that's straight from Delta network FWIW

(DL262/263 -400ER replace -300ER)
confirmed on Delta.com

Here's how I look at it:

We are up-gauging equipment in the largest transatlantic travel market.
That's a good sign.
