I guess I just don't understand why we have to beg for the privilege of flying our own passengers.
When I refer to "DC-9" size airplanes, that's right on the mark. Look at the gross weights of early DC-9's.
It takes until year 3 to pass DAL? Looks like you're not even getting industry standard WRT pay rates then.
And how much can a reserve be flown at UAL? I know CAL can go to FAR max. I thought I heard UAL was around 95 for narrowbody and 92 widebody. That's really not much better then CAL.
76 seat aircraft have been around...what....7 years or so? When was the last time UAL/CAL flew DC9-10's or an equivalent? They've been gone a while. I don't see any regionals flying around for DAL with 100 seats in them. Only 76 seats. I do see them flying around for Us Air with 86 seats though. Darn facts getting in your way again.
