So here is the question - Should a United 747 pilot be paid more than a United 737 pilot? I don't believe flying a 747 is anymore difficult than a 737, in fact a 737 has more critical phases of flight so if anything they should get paid more, as they do more. British Airways and UPS both pay solely on years in service for the reason - they want pilots to bid planes because of the lifestyle each aircraft provides rather than wanting it for more money!

What is your vote?
