No Kidding Lax!! I don't understand what you wanted our committee to do for US(CAL)! Should they have said "how lucky we are to get all this wide body flying?" Thats not there job!! I would have been disappointed if they didn't paint the type of flying we did in the best light!! (Just like your comm. did for you guys(UAL)) You are right, when you say the wide body flying goes more senior at Cal than the narrow body. However, I don't think it's anywhere close to the seniority gap that it is at UAL.(Just guessing, not trying to state fact!) There is a HUGE cultural difference between cal and ual in reference to wide-body to narrow-body flying!! I've been told by at least 5 different ual pilots that it's like flying at 2 different airlines. (wide-body airline and narrow body airline) Nothing wrong with that it's just different than what cal pilots have experienced over the yrs. We used to go by longevity pay just like ups until contract 97'. So, many of the senior pilots did fly smaller planes to get better schedule.(Our flying culture) That culture is still there to some extent. I honestly can tell you I am going to stay on the 737 for many yrs for reasons that fit ME!! I don't expect you or anyone else to understand why. But, I think more cal guys would understand than ual guys and neither side is right or wrong just different!! I believe ual's sli comm. along with ual pilots harp on heavy flying since it is a "perk" pay and prestige wise! ( I think that's a SMART strategy and would be disappointed if my Comm. didn't use it!!) You're mixing apples/oranges here. p.s.- I could have held 767 on last few bids and 2 guys that live in my neighborhood would be top 15 777 capts at cal. Both are very senior 737 capts!! (1 is about to retire!!) None of us are interested in that type flying!! (Just our opinions!)
