United 787 question
#22
Where on earth did you get the impression I like scabs? No love for them. However, the nickname Scabcab will quickly disappear as soon as the first L-UA pilot hits the line in the thing (by the way I am L-UA). My beef are the large number of hypocrites that like to picture themselves as the standard bearer of all the right things in the eyes of ALPA, yet they will sell their soul for an hour of add pay.

The 787 is a nice bird. It is fast, it flys high, and it is obviously new. The electric brakes tend to overheat after a long taxi in to the gate. The transition to the 787 is a short course from the 777. Can't say if I notice a difference in cockpit climate conditions. You can't open the cockpit windows. There is a hatch in the ceiling like the whale for the cockpit emergency exit. The bunk facilities are better as they are located over the first class cabin and seem to be more quiet. I flew the 777 for over 10 years, and truthfully I still like it better.
