<insert snarky fire comment here> on Nov. 5th. Looking at united.com reservations, sure enough there's UA105, a 787 SEA-NRT.
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?
I think they started calling the 787 "SPARKY". Given it's ability to start itself on fire, it may be a good name for 787. Sparky!
