Same at American. I’m JFK based but live in PHX. I like the European and SA flying we do on the 767, plus the trips are more productive than the PHX 757 flying. Once the 767s move to PHL I probably will bid there until I can hold LAX on the 787 or JFK on the 777. Routes and equipment translate to a bigger paycheck.

I'm curious to know what the pilot groups think regarding the upcoming allocation of Airbus equipment to largely north-south routes (LAXSEA, SEAPHX, etc.) while the 739ER fleet is placed on what were once VX transcons like LAXJFK, SFOJFK, etc. Does the change affect whether or not pre-merger AS pilots would prefer to transfer to Airbus equipment, etc?

Not trying to start a war, I'm just genuinely curious to know what the AS and VX pilots think and how it might color your perspectives on the integration.

It makes complete sense. NOBODY else does transcons from the LA or SFO market to JFK in a 737 because passengers hate it, its noisy and uncomfortable. So because nobody else does it AS will. Nobody I have spoken to at VX is looking forward to leaving the Airbus.

No one at VX is going to have to leave the AB.
