That's been true since the day I was hired.
There are two airlines at UA, one narrow and another wide. A semi-senior F/O on the wide side can make what a narrow body Captain makes and have less TAFB and other "perceived" benefits. Having that choice is one of the best benefits that United pilots have over our competitors. "One man's trash" and all that. A gander at a map of our route structure (less codeshare cities of course) can make a pilot giddy.
Hey, we just bought more 787's!
