But the 757-200 and 757-300 pay the same.. (as the 767-200 and 767-300)... I'm just playing devil's advocate... I think there should be more pay for more people/cargo.

The only pilots that I can think of that would be happy to see Delta get a321's, would be the pilots that are currently being forced to fly them. Give me the oldest, tiredest, most worn out 75 out there, before making me FOLLOW the newest, shineyest, underpowered 321.

What IF...

We (and by we I mean DALPA) were able to negotiate a NEW pay rate for all the 757 replacements, ie. all 737's and all A319/320/321's, to equal 757/767 pay?

Hummmm....

Then would we be beoching about getting new (used), little airplanes?

I was very dissapointed in the last T/A, that they didn't put the 717 at the same rate as the MD88/90. What I would like to see is, all the narrow bodies, pay the same, and all the wide bodies pay the same. The arguement you make to management is, it will save you a Bazzillion dollars in training, and will reduce the need to hire, since fewer pilots will be locked up in training.

Well, you know what that Patrick Henry said centuries ago.

"Give me 757s, or give me death!"

Yep, the 739 will pay more. The 738 paid more than the -700 for awhile. I can't remember the resolution on that but they brought the pay scales together at some point. Seems that Quito and/or international pay rings a bell.

I'd love to see the 321s if they were growth aircraft or RJ replacements, but not as a 757 replacement. I doubt it's in the cards anyway, if we wanted A321s we could have them tomorrow, don't need Kingfisher to dump theirs.
