Tks dragonman, but I'd heard night credits were staying for 2 and 3 man crews? That rate is about 7% above the yr 12 744 rate I think, for a much smaller airplane - so would have to at least partially compensate for no planned O/T. It seems obvious to me that they will be earning "less money than present Capts doing the same trip" - because the only ones doing those trips are currently 744 and 380 pilots in much bigger jets...
