Excellent post.
I think its a small number that complain loudly when their pillow isn't properly fluffed that keep getting us removed from these great locations.

Put us back on the beach!!!

Boeing delivered the 777 in a timely fashion because they didn't require an entirely new manufacturing process to make the hull and other major compnents. Aluminum is a well known material and much easier to design and build with than composites. Boeing better hoope the learning curve for building with composites is a lot shorter in time than it was with metals. (Think Comet)

With that said, my recollection is the 757 came out in roughly 1982. The A-320 about five years later and the 737 10 years after that.

Have you ever flown the 737 NG?

When the 757 came out it had electronic circuitry that automatically put the generators on line when the engines were started. Fifteen years later the NG still requires the generators be manually selected. Granted that's one example, but there are plenty.

As I mentioned in my earlier post the 777 came out roughly the same time as the NG. That was an evolutionary aircraft and what 12 or so years later the marketplace is not screaming for a clean-sheet design. They are however screaming (loudly) for a 737 replacement.

Instead of the 737 NG series, what if Boeing had come out with a scaled down 757? I think that would have been world class!

Finally, the 737 is the only aircraft that I can recall on which Delta has taken (several different times) income statement write offs to the tune of tens of millions of dollars to not take delivery of the aircraft.

So Delta would rather lose several million bucks per airplane than operate them. To me anyway, that says a lot.

Sorry I can't respond more thoroughly.
Yes, I have flown the 737NG. As far as income write offs Delta has taken delivery of most of their NG rather then cancel the orders. In fact in the last 2 years we have taken delivery of around 31 NG's. We sold 29 of them at a profit. Its rare to have a aircraft where demand is so strong that instead of canceling orders and paying the penalty you take them and resell them.
As far as aircraft Delta has canceled firm orders and had to pay to do so there have been a lot since I was hired. Off the top of my head the 737G, MD11, 767-400, 777, and MD-90. We might have taken delivery of the 8 777ER's that were canceled in the pay dispute and resold them like we have been doing with the 737.
As far as the overhead panel on the 737 USAIR and SWA pushed Boeing hard for a common type rating. It does not change the basic economics of the aircraft a bit. We just don't like it as pilots.

At first glance, I think the likely difference is the Jan 29 trip spills into next month. 16:14 is what the trip is worth; 11:28 is how much will be paid/credited toward January, with the remainder paid/credited toward February.

That is how I read it.

If you want to know your credit for the month, minus GS's, look at the credit applicable to GS pay.

How long is the trip leaving on the 29th? Does it end on 31 Jan.? If so, that day and any credit for the trip will be on your Feb. timecard. Remember 31 Jan. is the first day of the Feb. bid month.

Pay time is what you get paid for and usually mirriors the credit time. If you get a premium pay trip (GS, GSWC, IA, IAWC) it is pay no credit and will only be listed in the pay column and down the timecard under GSlip pay or one of the listings after that.

Until they CLOSE the trip the credit time may not be correct. I'd wait until it is closed then call and ask if you think you are not being paid correctly. If anything was changed/removed from the rotation the pay vs. credit will not be correct until they close it. They usually close them at the end of each day, but during IROP's I've seen them not close trips until the next day.
