UAL spent months getting a subset of Guam 737’s configured and certified for the island hopper. 40 degrees of recline eliminates the row behind it, unless you shift how the seats are laid out. Basically think of the old first or business class recliners (before lay flat was the norm) as the minimum of what’s acceptable.
And again no coach seat as a rest seat for augmented flights.
5-J-4 Seats comparable to Economy or Economy Plus are not acceptable for crew rest.
How many narrowbody jumpseats can recline 40 degrees?

Or you know, at least get domestic crew meals, guaranteed Economy Plus for DH, middle seat pay, RHA VEBA, 117 extension pay, new hire hotels and guarantee, or any of the things that add value to our operation every day.
At least if they fixed their international JV problem they could have routes more than 12 hours to use two captains on.

You must love throwing money away if you’d like to pay your top rate tax on the extra money.

Q: Why are the $1.00 per hour contributions mandatory?
A: If participation was voluntary, or the pilot had the right to opt out, the IRS would view the contribution as an elective employee contribution, and the IRS does not permit elective employee contributions to be made to health reimbursement arrangements.

VEBA's great to a point but I want to be able to choose between putting more in or getting it in cash.
