LOA 25 says the company can't close the SEA pilot base for 2 years after DOS, so what are the SEA 777 guys going to do in the mean time?
- Deadhead and pickup flying?
- New SEA destinations?
- UA 777 pilots transition to the 787?
Was this one of the unnamed NPDMs recently announced in the MEC update?
No. It was the retirement of 757s and that no sUA pilot domicile would close, and the sUA 737s that are coming and a new sUA 737 base (my guess is SFO).
News of a 787 base was apparently discussed with SSC but no NPDM yet.
