All that for basically the same pay as the super guppy. Will be interesting to watch though.
Have you flown the guppy? That's why.

Also, Denver HAD a 757 base for a long time. It was super senior. I see no reason why it wouldn't be the same now.

That's a strange number? Fewer F/Os than captains?

Sure. Flying is not augmented and super senior guys have lots of vacation time and are prone to illness, particularly on powder days.

Plus it's the 75 and NOT the Extra/Entire Runway Boeing, it can handle it.

At that seniorty I think they're more worried about their next bowel movement than a powder day.

What was the pay difference for 757 vs 737/Airbus before the new contract? Also those senior guys that were on it, where are they now? I can't imagine those senior FO's that upgraded to the guppy are going to go right seat again and take a good pay cut just for an airplane.

Agree....the pay is not attractive enough for most widebody folks, so it would have to be a quality of life decision. Most likely from someone who already lives there. Never know though.
