Plus have I mentioned how the 737 cockpit sucks? I'm sure Boeing isn't going to give one more inch up there in there new MAX.
Mike, on the CAL Side, we put out our C08 Proposal a few years back which HAD 73NG's banded with the 75-2's. Our side saw that the 75-2's would be replaced eventually with big 73's.Originally Posted by JetPilotMike
That IS the problem! They aren't banded on the sUAL side (who's 757's they are replacing), they aren't banded at DAL. The 757 pays more than a 737-9. So unless they are banded on the JCBA, which the shouldn't be anyways, we'll be flying around in a few hundred of the lesser paying aircraft. But I expected nothing else from a CAL CEO who ran a mostly 737 airline who pays himself north of $13 million a year.Plus have I mentioned how the 737 cockpit sucks?

for 1 Jan 13, the 12 yr payscales were $219.04/149.50.
On the Delta side, -
for 1 Jan 13, 73's pay $205.53/140.38 and
for 1 Jan 13 75's pay $213.22/145.63!
So, you see.. the idea of pay banding isn't bad IF it's forwards looking. I expect any JCBA to payband these aircraft together as the 73NG's and Max are a direct 75-2 replacement.
As someone else stated, the new NG's and especially the Max will be more fuel efficient AND result in greater profits than the planes they are replacing. Some of those profit can and SHOULD end up in the pilots wallets.
Just my opinion.

PS> SouthWest pays $216/151!!
