That was a given with the merger based on the demographics of where pilots lived. It will be a few more years before it settles out.

We need UALs bases. Not UCAL, UAL.

I'd be in DC or DEN as soon as I could hold it.

It doesn't seem like they did a very good job at averting a huge training footprint.
The ER is really a two airport category. The only trip out of EWR is the AMS trip and we only fly that half the year. The PA guys seem to scarf that one up since it seems to go senior to JFK AMS trips.

No kidding. And the CA I flew with last trip tried to lecture me on how the SLI should have gone date of hire. I freaking ate him alive on that one.

That's how it looked to me when I was deciding to bid NYC 7er. Not many EWR trips at all.

No no. Johnson. There are PLENTY of EWR trips and NYC is a horrible place to go. Only the VERY junior should EVER attempt it. Right?
