If you look at the AA retirements. Many are retiring before 65, not many want to stay to 65 never mind 67. Plus, to get to 67 you have to stay healthy. Also a challenge. I wouldn't worry about 67 rule, not likely to happen any ways.

...all great positives

I'm a narrow body captain with a lot more years behind me than ahead. I don't expect to ever have the opportunity to bid on either seat on a wide body. I was just reading through the thread and thought that for the original poster if a chance for wide body flying was the deciding factor then maybe he should rethink. But no doubt it would not have been the only factor. He did mention the drive time as well. By now, 2+ years later the decision is behind him anyway. If I was 25 years younger I'd go for a mainline carrier, bid the wide body and if I didn't lke it I'd have plenty of years to try them all.

Not at United.

The difference between most junior 787/777 captain and most junior NB captain at UAL is something like 15 years.

Sure the bottom 10% of the 777/787 goes to newhires but G line on those planes is far from junior.

lol...............

Correct response.

Look me up on the F9 tailstrike forum to see my other side

thank you for using fewer

Almost nothing about AA is low cost except the pax experience and the Pilot contract. Ha
