It looks to me like the future SFO 737 base is going to need to grow tremendously.

right now IAH has 234 total flights (117 arrivals, 117 departures) scheduled per day on the 737

SFO has 154 total flights scheduled per day on the 737.

So, SFO is already 2/3 the size of the IAH operation on the 737, and if anything the average flight out of SFO seems to be a longer stage length (many transcons and Hawaii), so it might even have more than 2/3 the hours.

If IAH has 600+ Captains and F/Os on the 73, then there are going to be alot of bids coming in the future for 737 SFO.

Don't know how many legacy CAL folks there are out West, but SFO has always been a junior base on the UA side due to the cost of living, so this could get very interesting
