Now that's funny!!

Reminds me of that Saturday Night Live skit when Joe Piscopo did his Frank Sinatra impression. He would say to Billy Crystal in the thickest Sinatra accent possible: "I've got STOOLS bigger than you!"

Yes but when the poop out numbers the pooper 3:1 you better watch where you step.

None the less, the distinction needs to be made.

The distinction HAS been made. The 747 pays more. It is a bigger airplane. duuuh. You guys seem to want to dismiss the 767 as if it were a MD88... long range, but insignificant wrt to international operations. (No insult intended to MadDog drivers) Fine. You win. And.... you're right Cap'n... you would never want to fly the mini-van. The destinations are lame, the aircraft sucks, JFK is a quagmire. Make ya a deal: You stay off the 767, and I'll NEVER bid the 747.


But you can't forget either that if the 767 took a dump, it would be bigger than a DC9.

Oh, and one last thing.... how's that 787 thing coming along? Still think it's gonna fly anytime soon? And when/if it ever does, will you consider it a widebody? Just curious...

You're welcome for your pay raises under LOA 19. You couldn't have done it without us.

Maybe had your guys shown up origionally without being on vacation, or too busy, we could have all got more. Either way, you're welcome for the big(ger) pay raise!

How big of a head do you have to have to think that you or your group have any responsibility for anyone else's raise. No wonder you guys need those hats.

"Size extra large please, so I can hide my extra big head."

When compared to other delta aircraft the 76ER is $21/$14 (CA/FO) less than the 764 (widebody)and only $6/$4 more than the 737NG (narrow body).

United does it the same as delta but Continental and American both have them separate. NWA does have the 787 on order but they put it's pay on the widebody side and not closer to the 757.
I thought it was NALPA's position that pay doesn't matter in constructing a seniority list. So why are we even having this discussion? From a purely selfish perspective it would be great if the SLI were determined by premerger pay rates Is that really a discussion you want to have, because all the NWA A320s/319s and DC-9s pay less than MD-88 rates and would therefore be classified as small narrow bodied aircraft and all DAL 777s pay super duper premium wide bodied rates and would be ranked ahead of the 747-400. Nevermind the fact that DAL 757s have the same effective pay rate as a NWA A330.

Help me. What does any of that have to do with the arrogance of thinking you are personally responsible for someone else getting a raise?
