I would take a 25 year old 757 or a 20 year old A320 over a 3 day old 737 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. But really, who cares?!
... and take 120 min delay and inconvenient 200+ passengers for MX,
True L-UAL spirit!
Forget about safe, reliable, on time service to our customers; forget about best reliable service to our business passengers relying on our service to arrive at their business meeting on time, forget about keeping our airline profitable; what counts, is that L-UAL pilot feels good about himself.
Trust me, I hate guppy and everything about this Boeing 1960s technology, but it keeps this airline profitable, and keeps me employed, and that's all I care about.
Perhaps one day, some of you, on L-UAL side, will realize, that having a long term employment is better then the superb contract and furlough for 13 years with potential in more then $1.5 mil in lost wages.
This guppy vs heavy debate, is like a guy with a small d1ck and big truck. When you guys realize, it's not about a size, it's all about the $$$$.
Less then a year ago, your 25 year B757 CA were making less then FOs in Sothwest and jetBlue, what you say to that? Perhaps you felt a bit short between the legs, and you are compensating with the size of your airplanes.
