But for some reason WB flying is not as desirable for UA pilots as it is at AA but you would have to ask them why that is. Also keep in mind that airlines heavily reliant on international flying are usually the hardest hit during recessions/black swan events.
it’s actually a very simple reason. Global reserve. Only 6 hard days off in a month. There’s a reason 777 sfo goes to the plug in a lot of new hire classes. They had a chance to get rid of it this past contract but didn’t. For anyone who doesn’t live in SFO and commutes, it’s hell.

DAL is still king, AA is finally paying down debt (just read AA’a credit rating was upgraded again for the 3rd quarter) and United is loading up on huge amounts of debt from A/C orders to replace the oldest fleet in the industry.

Nothing I said was incorrect. AA paid Retro this Q, UA did not. You made a reply to a post UA recorded higher profits this Q, but as I said above, your numbers are skewed.

They took it out in quarter 1 , that's why we had a small loss. Which part don't you understand?? Numbers aren't skewed at all.

Do you have comprehension issues or short term memory loss? UA’s numbers were “skewed” compared to AA in Q1 as they took a “small loss”. AA’s Q3 “small loss” is skewed compared to UA’s Q3 earnings. Btw neither actually took a loss, they both paid down debt in those respective Q’s and can utilize the “small loss” for tax harvesting purposes.

Keep drinking the Kirby kool-aid.

Ummm… I hate to be the one to have to tell you this but, it appears you’re actually the one that doesn’t understand. Tell Scooter, “hi,” not.
