United has been fling heavy equipment from LAX to HNL for decades so yes, it is sort of a big deal to see us flying 737's with an occasional 757 to a spot we once used to fly with 747's and DC-10s only to do it in the future with 737s and an occasional 757. I have been displaced a bunch, including MIA and SEA.. To bad, so sad. I predict that in the near and distant future, there will be change. I hope my personal decisions about where to be based will work out better than the decisions I made in the past. But nobody else cares. |

This isn’t news, there’s a grand total of 36 pilots on the thing. As was mentioned the 787LAX fleet is growing like crazy.
The 36 left we’re just the ones with the patience to hold out for a displacement bid. |

I disagree because while our competitors are hiring at record levels, we’re still contracting. They’re going to get the experienced applicants. We on the other hand are going to get what’s left over. We’re going to be the last to the party.

AA only hires from their whole owned through flow and DL classes are getting smaller with CAs being displaced back to FO. At least we aren't forcing downgrades at the moment. |

I do not work for United, but what the hell is happening? My father put in a very proud 30+ years at CO and my spouse has almost 20 at CO/UA. I cannot understand why United Continental seems to be having such a tough time getting it together??

How many folks would it take getting displaced or BES’s closed in order for you to “care”?

So we should keep open flying just so that you don’t have to be displaced? It’s not like we’re furloughing as guys are going backwards. I have a feeling you’re going to land on your feet..... I don’t care either.
The point that I’m making since you apparently missed it is that by the time most of the apathy wears off it’ll be too late. Keep not caring. Someone wants to get you all the way down to the point to wear you just start to care. That’s their sweet spot. |

Where did I make a mention of open flying in this thread? Are you creating your own argument?

Pick your battles. If you want to go back to the days of flying 747’s to Hawaii then fine, I’d rather be working for a company making billions per year. Do I want better pay and more QOL? Of course. No one in the hotdog factory asked where I think hulls and crews should be based however. Enjoy the 78 or whatever Captain bid you decide to rightfully displace into.
