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.Originally Posted by ImSoSuss
I've been doing a lot of MCI/DFW lately and just looking at the daily flights there are a lot of them spread out throughout the day so it doesn't look to be a bad commute. Have no clue what UA does out of MCI. I believe your seniority progression and final seniority will be much better at AA than UA. WB flying may come quicker at UA as they have much more of it. 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.
