That's their prerogative, but it's no wonder so many pilots are fat.

The fact that UAL will no longer be the top paying B737 operator thanks to this SWA deal is nothing short of embarrassing. All the United Next talk and greatest airline ever doesn't ring true when pilots are paid 2nd or 3rd best, especially to a LCC like SWA. Truly embarrassing. Hard to wrap my head around it!

You still have different fleets to bid on, polaris DH from time to time, you get a crew meal and you can wear a hat everywhere you go to feel better about those NB rates.

Yep! You guys scored very nice WB rates, well deserved to be willingly stuck for 14h in the tube going to PEK, PVG, HKG and others.
Well, nowhere else to go by choice. No one forced us to join. You just have to like 1960 tech and the guppy is a fine bird, you should try it lol
