The I don't want to fly 747's and Idon't want to (you fill in the blanks here) is EXACTLY what the Republic pilots said prior to the final arbitration but what really happened? Every time an opening came on a 747 or anything else I might add a Republic guy filled it asap.... That statement carries no weight to the NWA pilots,"fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me." We definitely want to keep our large widebodies and feel a need to insure that through seniority.
