Also heard that nearly half of the 737 CAP bids so far on the CAL side in DEN are scabs. Nice. Salt in the wound.
FWIW, from a 17 year UAL line puke that has given up enormously to stay based in DEN and driving to work.

Our EWR and IAH widebody flying has been decimated by the shift to sUAL aircraft. Not to mention the EMB-170s that have infested our hubs since this merger began.
The damage goes both ways. You live and fly in DEN so that's what you see. The pilots in IAH and EWR losing the 767 flying, and 737 to EMBs for that matter, are getting a bite of the same **** sandwich.
So far the only fleet that hasn't been hit is the EWR 777 base. It's the only one that looks the same pre and post merger. Who knows how long that will last.
