Just a messenger

Crew resources said they are expecting to train 90 new hires a month.

25 would sure be a disappointment. That would mean we are shrinking by roughly 400 a year in total numbers.

Look at the pay rates and you tell me.

When did WB become a pay category? I though it was an aircraft category. If we band the 767 to the 765 in C2019, does it become a widebody by your definition?

I’m in contact with mine, and ALPA is NOT paying his salary.

Trips are all coded ALPA for Feb and Mar.

Yep. Yes a 763 is a wide body airplane, but the 757 is not. Most of the flying in the category is on the 757, and the pay is closer to narrowbody than the other widebodies. So do you consider it a “widebody” category?

I was just responding to someone else who said the junior WB capt was 2500-3000....ignoring the ER category. I didn’t hear any complaints then.

Some guys have a hangup about calling the 767 a widebody, because it is pay banded with the 757. Others take exception, because it flies domestic trips. On a pure definition basis, the 767 is a widebody AC and the 757 isn't. Either way, it won't be flying when the poster asking about a 30 year career is ready to upgrade to a WB.
