with the rumored ae coming out this week, any guesses to how junior the captains will go on this round?

I agree WB FO will go more SR than NB CA will on the most optimized fleets.

Agreed. 90% of WB FOs can already hold captain on a NB.

Definitely out of seniority.

not to beat a dead horse but at UAL, WB FO is more JR to any CA position. That's just simply down to work rules and the fact that our peers have many more high paying aircraft. So why do WB pay rates at Dal really matter?

No hints were given. Just that it’s going to be one big one instead of two separate ones before summer.

Thanks for that. It brightened my day.



Nothing to see here, move along. The real story is about how it's raining Green in the NB categories.


UAL uses their WB fleet on lots of domestic transcon routes, similar to our use of the 7ER. The bottom (domestic) portion of the 7ER fleet is a new hire airplane at Delta. What is United's seniority on the International WB flying?
