Let’s compare fair
They may have more Captains per aircraft, but I don't believe they have more Captains total.
They do 2 Capt and 2 FOs on double augmented legs, we only do so on over 16 hour flights.
So, while a good percentage of their flights on the 777 and 350 are over 12 hours, it certainly is not all, so some portion of the staffing model is identical.
Certainly we at UA would love to have 2 + 2, on our flights over 12, but I definitely would not trade WB fleets to get it!!!!!!
