The blame for this 756 fleet hull loss, the last one (2019), and the 777 near miss of Maui can be squarely placed on UAL scheduling/ reserve rules- particularly global reserve/rolled days off that make being junior on WB fleets so unappealing that pilots on the line don’t want it, and it’s given to new hires. Often those new hires are the youngest and least experienced pilots at United.

First look at the AIP shows that Rolled days off/Global reserve rules are still present. It’s yet to be seen if any of the other reserve improvements will be enough to make widebody fleets desirable or if they’re still going to new hires. If things aren’t fixed, UAL is eventually going to kill a bunch of people. The FAA knows it, TK instructors know it, line pilots know it yet UAL management chooses to ignore it.
