United has been fling heavy equipment from LAX to HNL for decades so yes, it is sort of a big deal to see us flying 737's with an occasional 757 to a spot we once used to fly with 747's and DC-10s only to do it in the future with 737s and an occasional 757.
Nobody cares if those 36 pilots don't want to be displaced. Probably they waited because they wanted displacement rights instead of bidding a vacancy. In either case, nobody cares other than those individuals. I could care less.
I have been displaced a bunch, including MIA and SEA.. To bad, so sad.
I predict that in the near and distant future, there will be change. I hope my personal decisions about where to be based will work out better than the decisions I made in the past.
But nobody else cares.
