That distinguishing mark is not always a sign of their past history

Sorry, that is not long haul. Plus, stopping numerous times going coast to coast is not fun.

An alphabet character, (ie: 0034b).

Not all employees who have an alphanumeric employee number are scabs and conversely not all scabs have a letter in their employee number.

BWI-California n/s, LAS & PHX to FLA n/s, etc. Yeah, its not trans-oceanic, but they've got some serious stage lenghts.

And almost $60K more/ year than a CAL 737 Capt. Both are good choices, get hired then worry about it.

No Kidding. There are plenty of full term strikers with a letter at the end of their employee number. Call them a scab because of that number and you won't be riding the jumpseat any more. And, Matercraft, get both letters offering employment and then come back and ask the same question. In the meantime, good luck.
