73 Capt. Any base. Our (non existent) work rules suck, so our seat and aircraft bids are very inconsistent with stuff going far more junior than it would at a typical carrier. Ex: I would NEVER hold 757/767 anywhere else at my seniority. It's just THAT bad.

Thanks for the reply.

FYI, at that level at UAL I am a top 10-15% 76/75 FO at any base or I could be a bottom lineholder 320 CAP at any base exept DEN(on resreve) or bottom lineholder/senior reserve 747 or 777 any base except SEA.

It kind of reminds one of the lyrics to an old song "...but that was yesterday and yesterday's gone". (Heavy emphasis on the word "gone").

It was true but one will never see those days again...just like Contract 2000. Sweet, but never to be seen again.

G'Luck with the marriage ladies & gentlemen. It should work in my view, especially if a housecleaning occurs in Chicago.

How many guys are based in SEA? I thought it was less than 50... And is it a 320 base? Just curious. In 30 years I could probably hold it.

I believe, (that means I read it on a web board), that the CAL contract has a provision preventing JV's.

There was talk about how the joint venture with UAL needed to be signed off by the CAL pilot group. Would this clause help prevent the Air Lingus deal?

Fingers crossed...

More than fifty but not by much. No 320 base in SEA. 767 and 777 only.

14 plus years to be the bottom guy on the 767.

Thanks, I knew it had changed a lot from when I was younger, but I wasn't sure by how much. I'll trade you EWR for SEA. Deal? Everyone loves the sweet smell of marinara and urine, right?
