You're sourcing Boeing for comparison? That's objectionable. Notice they didn't mention EXIM financing (your tax dollars actively engaged against you), Mil/Industrial sales and criminal behaviors (KC-46 anyone?), or a straight numbers comparison.
Fifi has zeeeeero of the performance problems the Guppy does. Never left a paying pax behind for performance on Fifi or needed a kickstand either.
What I'd really like to see (and no one has ever had) is no dookie dollars numbers from the people in Sears Tower comparison of the Bus vs Guppy.

Sigh I’ll never be a real UAL pilot until I can hate the “Guppy”. You know the leaving hundreds of passengers behind, not being able to climb over FL250 and landing at 200kts and using 12000 feet of runway kinda crowd.

Stop exaggerating. They only leave “dozens” of people at the gate. The rest is true tho.

We have not gotten used 737’s because there aren’t any, and if there are some available they are too expensive, airbus’s and easy to come by and cheaper. This has been said many times over by upper management.
I didn’t like the 737 when I flew it but I was never weight restricted and if you used the apu properly I never sweated. The constant hate in the 737 is so amusing seeing us line pilots have no say at what airplane we buy and Boeing seems to be doing well with them as the are building 42 a month for the next 10-15 years and looking to expand on that.

Also have to say, I’m sick or reading all the stuff on this and other forums about how great CAL was, and bad mouthing LUAL pilots. The merger happened 8 years ago, move on.
Friends of Fred for two decades, no work rules, etc. Life today at United is light years ahead of what we ever had at CAL. How about we move on and stay unified as one group and negotiate a better contract?

As a former CAL guy I too echo these sentiments. Gordon this and hoopla that but our contract always sucked hind-tit. All I could ever count on year after year was that the next sh!t-sandwich manangement served up would be less tasty than the previous one. Don't miss it a bit and good riddance.

Stop being a total A$$. I’m LCAL 87 hire. Flew the 737-300/500/700/800/900 in the left seat at CAL from 99 to 07. Been on the 756 ever since. Having over 5,000 in the 737. All I can say is the Guppy (get over yourself!) is a POS, my two cents. That’s not a shot against you or any other pilot who flies it. Like stated above we as pilots have no say in what aircraft United acquires.

Not sure what legacy or work rules have anything to do with this thread??
However sounds like you may be the guy that joins in on the LCAL bad mouthing...
