Comfy bunk? If you like sleeping on a hard park bench in a coffin....

Not arguing that we don’t deserve comfier bunks, just that our bunks are better than the guppy’s.

Agreed....:D

757 in EWR
 

I've read some posts on a couple sites about 757/767 life, but it's been mostly West Coast domiciles. Anyone an FO in EWR with some info on a day in the life?

I class up in Feb; it's showed up on a couple bids and not sure if I should consider it or not.

Thanks,

Not on it but from what I’ve heard the flying is great, a lot better than west coast. A lot of Europe. However if you want Newark your seniority progression would be much faster on the 737 or A320. I.e. getting off reserve faster. I’ve been here a little over 3 years and would be about 50% as EWR 737FO and 85% as EWR 756FO.... But I’ve never heard a negative thing about the plane. Just depends on what you’re looking for...

Anything for the drops today?

Saw something showing lots of 756 and 737 on the coasts and some SFO 320.

6 EWR 756
8 LAX 756
9 SFO 320
10 EWR 737
10 DCA 737
5 LAX 737
21 SFO 737
4 GUM 737

Must fill 10 756, 9 320, and 21 737.

If you are awaiting a class date, the United New Hire - Half Wingers facebook group is a good resource.

Final choices were:
6: EWR 756
4: LAX 756
9: SFO 320
2: EWR 737
5: DCA 737
5: LAX 737
7: SFO 737
2: GUM 737
