We will see in May when the CAL LAX base opens. Been hearing many bad things from pilots and mgmt alike saying that UAL ain't happy about it and isn't going to play nice in the sandbox.
I have to agree being a surplussed 320 Capt from LAX, that is a pretty bitter pill to swallow. If we had a TA and it was UAL as a whole that was bringing back 737's to LAX and we could all bid them I wouldn't have an issue with it obviously.
But this is going to have some negative implications no doubt about it. How about the United side brings 747's to IAH and the local IAH guys are unable to bid it and will be displaced because of it. Think there might be a problem with that?
I'm guessing so.
