The mere existence of more larger planes at one airline doesn't necessarily mean career expectations are better.
C'mon, dude. You're not supposed to argue using facts and well-reasoned logic! You're supposed to repeat the talking points.

"Cal was going bankrupt."
"United bought Cal."
"United parked the 737s in anticipation of the merger...er acquisition."
"United has more widebodies, and being a widebody pilot is the only measure of career success, regardless of pay or qol."

Don't deviate from the script! (Ok... sarcasm off)

Disclaimer: please don't take offense if this is genuinely what you believe. I just hear these "talking points" so often I start to feel like I'm listening to a White House press briefing.
