Now that is just plain nonsense.
The take home pay on the 787 is significantly more that the 767 and slightly more than the A330.
Additionally, your pay doesn't drop $3K/fourtnight because you happen to be on leave. Get called out on a sim support or do a standby and you get significantly more, at the higher hourly rate, than you would on the 767 or 330.
Still in a defined benefit for super. If so it is definitely the fleet to be on. Your FAS is significantly inflated thanks to the higher hourly rate.
Don't agree? Then ask all of the A330 pilots that have bid for the 787. I assume they're all deluded and you're correct.
If your going to make statements such as you have, then at least be across the facts.
