I've been treated very well by folks on the 76T in EWR. I just BATted to the 756 so we'll see how it goes there. Just did 764 IOE and the FOs picked up the tab, but they are L-UAL guys. LCA was AWOL.
I think the half-wing tradition is great and wish we had done it at my regional (ALPA also) where free anything on 1st year pay really makes a difference.
