Not painted Purple Yet! 767
#21
The pay seems like a fairly simple deal if our union negotiates it properly...
Narrow body pay for trips flown on the 757.. Wide Body pay for trips flown on the 767.
Reserve pay would have to be negotiated..
At other carriers flying both the 757 and 767, reserve is paid at the higher rate..
Just a wag but I bet widebody guys would be ****ed when some of the trips they are put in sub for end up being paid at narrowbody rates. If you think scheduling is shady now, I bet they explore just how many gauge changes they could do without crashing the system.
My vote is 767 guys always get widebody pay, even if it's a 757 and 757 guys get widebody pay when operating a 767. Any other way would mean loss of pay for those who are holding widebody aircraft.
Your way may seem o.k. now but would stink if we replaced a bunch of MD11s and Airbus with 767s.

Might want to talk with a block rep. I don't see the pay cut and dry as you do. Right now we get sub when a trip has a change of gauge (change of airplane type) and an extra pairing is created or a revision occurs.

With all due respect, we're asking to be brutalized with a combined bidpack.

Here at DAL,the 757/767 category always pays the higher rate, and the 767-400 pays an even higher rate....same as A330.

How will there be 767 guys and 757 guys? If it's a combined fleet via the dual type rating, they'll all be in the same group. We don't have MD-10 and MD-11 guys.

I think the main issue to know is how many jumpseats will be on the 767 and if there is a crew bunk, will the captain take people along for the ride?
