Also, with SFO opening in January, any thoughts on whether it will go junior or senior? Finally, ignorance here, are only having Delta benefits really a huge deal and a deal breaker for many?
Someone find me a GeeDee crystal ball...
That's a great question and I don't think anyone knows the answer. I just did 4 SKW jumpseat rides today (might as well see how the real world works before I go to Sims) and flew with some very senior guys. Bottom line: nobody knows.
The general thought is that the ERJ/SFO will wind up going very senior as the West Coast Brasilia guys all transition into it – b/c they're not going to want to go to ORD.
The one thing everyone agreed on today (4 different crews) is that with the increase of 175 flying in SFO, nobody's really sure what's going to happen to the SFO-based United 700s.
Of course, take that rumor as being worth what you paid for it ;-)
