They would not. We would have wide body intl pay. It would be the best in the industry.
All true Intl would be UPS plus 1%
SLC-CDG ER
SEA-HKG 330
They should pay the same
The ER guys/gals only get the Intl pay when they fly the Intl trip.
You think guys care so much at UPS what plane they fly. Delta pilots just want the best in the industry. UAL is not it. UPS has set the new standard.

Cool. So you are an advocate of banded pay then. It's a start. I am definitely on board with that.















but it will never happen here.

I agree, pay band all wide bodies to UPS+3-5%. The 777 etc will take a hit but there are so few jobs it shouldn't matter much. It might even go junior to the ER in that case

Even if the PS numbers came in exactly the same we would net 11.5 percent more with PS being pensionable.

That's "weighted", so a UAL 767-400 Captain is industry leading in hourly wage. Profit sharing is flexible, can't be counted on. It's our silver bullet. It's in lieu of retirement they talked about 31 years ago. When these managers were pooping yellow.

Between the 350 and 777 by 2020 we will have well over 1300 pilots staffing those two airframes. Hardly a few jobs. The 787 is the front runner to replace the 58 767ER's. Staffing will be lighter on those airframes with mostly 3 man verses 4 but still another potential 1200 to 1400 jobs.
Edit: Based on current 777 staffing my numbers are light. Probably over 1500 pilots will be required for the 777/350.

So you think we're still getting the 787s?

You and I will be dead by then.

We will get something to replace the 7ER. The 787 is the front runner and lots of delivery positions are available in the timeframe we need them. The only other choice is the A330 NEO which is larger then they want.

We most certainly won't see any more 777s.
