Does a 747 create more profit than an MD88? Is the checkride easier on an MD88? Is there less frequent line checks on the MD88? What? What? Give me one reason a 747 pilot should make more $$$ pr hour than an MD88 pilot. Oh, and by the way, keep in mind all those profit and revenue questions we were asked in the interview....

It is complete and utterly nonsense to pay a 747 pilot more $$$ than an MD88 pilot. Lets cut the training cost for the company and pocket the $$$ instead of running this old school way of fighting towards each other for something we all know is essentially the same job.

Rant over.... Continue..

The argument for more pay on larger jets, is that it leaves leverage open if something like the 380 would show up. You lose all of that if you go to a straight longevity rate. Just food for thought.

No, I was reading the SWA thread. They've shown us all the way- staple everyone you merge with and if they refuse to go to the back of the bus, you fire them.

Seems simple.

So in 3 years I can make $10K more than now and that temporary contract will last 60% the life of a real one?

Sticking to the mild sauce from now on.
