If they are going to reopen DEN 756 for s few island turns GUM will survive.

'89 didn't just derail this thread he drove it off a cliff.:rolleyes:

Eating those DH's is much much cheaper than having a small domicile on the other side of the Earth that only supports 14 flights per day. Only 11 of those flights are 737. And some of those 11 aren't profitable.

Just curious how do you know the profitably of those flights, or any United flight? Do you work in revenue management?

Speaking of Guam... why do Guam-based United pilots get $3000/month extra?
Because it is that much more expensive to live there than San Francisco or Washington DC?

Yes it is. Same reason FDX has a COLA for HKG.

First snapshot is out. 2200ish seniority to hold it.

And Zero backfills......very diverse background bidding.

The gap between Min and Max on the Vacancy Bulletin in all seats is pretty high (probably on purpose).

Unlikely any backfills, considering the diversity of bidders.

Sad day for the 787 though as buried in that announcement is that SYD goes to the 777 in NOV.

It's not in the schedule yet, but we just got the SYD neighborhoods free of all them 777 pilots and now here they come lowering property values again.

That's complete BS. Hong Kong Cost of Living Index is astronomical compared to Guam. Guam is cheap compared to the big asian cities. Food is expensive, but the rest isn't. Nice try bubba.

Why do peeps gotta worry about what Guam pilots get ($3K/mo)? Bid Guam if you want the extra cash. Otherwise, just worry about your own business. How about private school tuition? Jeez. :confused:
