Before I posted, I understood that the contracted dictated arbitration regarding the pay of the 777F at the company. I was half being a smart ass half curious. I think it's silly to include the new frame in 'wb pay scale' but I also don't want 4a2b any longer than necessary.
That said, the idea that 777 crews bid it regardless of pay scale is comical. If you want to drive a 777 just because, go back to AA or UA and give the FE on the 727 a chance to move up.

Besides.....the 777 pay rate has been in arbitration for a while now....shouldn't be long before we have a rate.
Wonder if the decision on the pay rate will come before or after the upcoming vacancy bid?? Maybe that's another piece of the puzzle they're waiting on before putting out the bid?

Thankfully most of the reps that pushed that POS are gone now. And they still defend their actions
The 777s are coming. Unless they want them to sit, they're going to need more crewmembers even without a payrate.

Since a lot of us will probably be flying the 75 when all the MDs and Buses go away (if rumors are true, could start during this contract), getting a higher rate for the 75 seems like the most prudent thing to do. I'd forgo a WB pay raise on the next contract to bring the NB pay up to the same.

Remember, the company wanted one pay scale (like UPS) last contract. But big Bob and DW didn't. They fought against it. I remember one roadshow where they were spouting their typical BS that they were looking out for everyone by ensuring that the top 10% could max out with some serious international pay...

Wishful thinking indeed. Someone will always fly it because it's a shiny new 777. One big tube same as another to me.
