Lastly, what's the command time looking like? And why are there some very senior guys out there?

Thank you for such a prompt reply!
Yeah I guess the extra money goes a long way, but that again having young kids in Guam would mean crappy free schools or expensive private schools.
Do most FOs there choose to stick till command or just for a few year stint and relocate back to the mainland? Also, do most of them commute around Asia or purely enjoy the island life? And is the hub ever expand more flights and routes surely command time will decrease?

The HKG-GUM route was cancelled pre COVID and I was told the reason was is they wanted to use the slot for a more profitable route from the mainland so it may never come back. UAL has decided to codeshare many of the routes we did, like SIN, SGN and HKG out of NRT.
The FBA was $1100 and went to $3k on the last contract. It's a big sticking point at the MEC level so I'd be shocked if it went up again. It is taxed so keep that in mind and is not used in any profit sharing calculations.
