Ask the JB folks about this flying.

Low pay/yeild, two pilots, bumping along low and slow....

I love the Airbus, but no rest bunk, no third pilot, low yield credit = No thanks. ;-)

I'll take domestic PM instead thank you very much.
Lots of stackable overrides. Senior *****s will take it.

so now int'l flying is trash

jfc I can't keep up with y'all, this place is so spastic

PHL int'l has always had this issue, you end up doing one more trip a month vs being based in DFW flying Europe. I really hope they bring back their boutique PHL 75/76 destinations, that would be amazing.

Yes and there was a 3rd pilot on the 75 so I expect there will be one on the XLR. I don't think they will have any trouble getting pilots to bid these trips.

This is the way...and PHL/320/I/FB is already programmed into FOS. It's going to be 3 pilot. Maybe not every segment, but it's in there.

You didn't read what I wrote correctly.

That is not at all what I posted.

Commuting would be easy to either PHX or LAX until I move to the PHX area once kids graduate. Obviously, furlough protection would be better with AA with more of a focus on domestic vs International at UA. AA is also focused on paying down a lot of its debt from aircraft bought prior to Covid. The dilema is commute for 4 years and stay on the bus or choose UA, stay in base but get the 73. I was offered a CJO first with AA and have the best chance at the bus. However, living in base is a game changer with QOL. Thanks for all the information you guys provide. Truly appreciated.
if you’re definitely moving to Phoenix in a few years, go to AA and suck up the commute until you live in base. UAL LAS trips are 65% redeyes, and not even just first or last day. Unless you love redeyes.

but seriously, if you’re moving to PHX, suck it up and do AA.

i know more than one person who live in LAS and switch back to SFO widebodies because the trips were trash.

this from a UA guy, btw.
