It’ll be interesting to see how junior that goes once the MAXs start showing up in force.

Why do you think the Max additions will effect the bidding? I lean to think it’s insignificant. Just more airframes?

Last I saw we still have 135 MAXs coming and United has said if the economy keeps humming, they’ll be growth, if not, they’ll be replacement. There are far fewer new widebody slots (one -300ER and now 14 787s remain inbound) coming available in the near future.

There are two airlines at UA, one narrow and another wide. A semi-senior F/O on the wide side can make what a narrow body Captain makes and have less TAFB and other "perceived" benefits. Having that choice is one of the best benefits that United pilots have over our competitors. "One man's trash" and all that. A gander at a map of our route structure (less codeshare cities of course) can make a pilot giddy.
Hey, we just bought more 787's!
