Being in a union is supposed to ensure all are treated the same. Maybe it is time to have a discussion on language to force staffing some of the costal growth with the flyover mid-continent pilots.

Being in a union is not about being treated exactly the same but treated equitably and with due process. I have flown with jr and sr CAL and UAL guys and they pretty much all have had the same complaints meaning it seems pretty fair, with the exception of one very JR guy who said he was about 3-500 numbers higher than he thought he should be.
Everyone at UAL got screwed in the 2000s. Some just got screwed worse. Would you rather be in your position or be one of the guys who lost his pension 6 months before retiring?

Hopefully, you understand that ALPA doesn't control UAL marketing or the economic forces that drive marketing's decisions, right?. I heard a stat that if you drew a 10 mile circle around SFO, the revenue generation of companies inside that circle together would represent the world's 6th largest economy. I'm sure the operation out of EWR has similar metric.
So if you're looking to make maximum profit, where do you put the assets? ORD has road salt, high crime, and high property taxes - it's not the city it was 30 years ago. The City of Chicago has dug it's own grave.
So, troll on, or commute to either coast where the flying is.
In all fairness though, if you have data to support ORD getting more international flying, I'm sure your LEC SSC would enjoy your talents.
