You’re correct, it is laughable how clueless SOME United pilots like “half wing” are with Delta’s and American’s work rules compared to United. I don’t even think our DCI (Delta connection: SkyWest, Republic, Endeavor) regionals allow airport standby in their respective contracts… think about that. I constantly read crap from United pilots portraying their work rules as a close second to our previous contact at Delta. Nope, that’s laughable to think you’re anywhere close to industry standard. They’re dead last when comparing legacy work rule contracts and freaking Spirit lapped them in work rules years ago.
But hey, those WB vacancies available to NH’s, upgrade’s available in one year, that’s just growth for United next and has no relation to the worst work rules for WB reserves and worse QOL out of the big 3 currently for NB CA’s.
