Reassignments are rampant. The number of 4 and 5 day trips is through the roof. Domestic QOL is similar to the regionals. Time to hold a line on the 777 or 787 is probably around 17 years or more. The WB fleet has been shrinking and is now roughly half the size of UAL's WB fleet. Our negotiated AIPs (agreements in principle) are full of concessions. The union is asking for 12% (DOS), 5% (DOS +1), 2%(DOS +2) with a $60 million dollar signing bonus (roughly 4k/pilot). We are asking for something like 12% retro back to April 1, 2022. I'm seriously starting to wonder if our NC/reps are being incentivized by mgt to deliver a turd.
