First really big AE since the Optimizer came into use prior to last summer. I’m guessing junior captains, particularly those in the cesspool that is currently NYC NB, take a hard look at how their lives might be improved by a 330 or 765 B position.

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

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?

I wonder if this is to keep all the new hires over the next few months in NY through the summer

Does United’s 777 or 787 pay less for domestic flying?

According to their messge board, they have FO's less than 1 year on property going to the 777.
