To be honest I really actually don't care about flying a widebody internationally. I got my fix of that flying MD-11's in the ACMI cargo world. For me it's purely about pay and the 9 day schedule I hear about.

I also think United is going to have the most problems down the road with the shortage of pilots and regionals going out of business. I think Delta is smart buying smaller jets and making sure they don't have to rely on regionals. And I think American is smart focusing so much on honoring their flows so people will want to fly for the regionals that support their flying. What is United doing to protect their short haul domestic flying?
