Ughh The Culture between HERE and JetBlue is A LOT different. Ask me how I know.
As to your other diagnosis about the production line. The civilian world also doesn’t really produce that much. While no stats exist as far as ATP, over 80% of commercial certifications granted by the FAA go to Foreign Nationals.

I've flown with more than a handful of great IAH LCPs, including some really down-to-earth guys that don't have the LCP attitude.
I'm sure the opposite exists, too, but I'd be hard-pressed to believe they're limited to IAH. But now you've got me curious who I should be on the lookout for.

I’ve had a couple of FO’s complain about a 737 LCP. Evidently he had corrected them for showing up to the plane for the first leg of a pairing 15 minutes late, using PED’s during flight, blowing off the debrief, sticking checklist in the windows to block the sun, and stuff like that. I told them that I was shocked that a LCP was by the book and expected them to be as well. I’m sure that got me put on the list too.😂

I’m a CJO holder that is coming from a regional. As class approaches, I’m trying to plan out where I see myself going and settling down in the next few years. At my regional, the climate and culture at different bases is drastic. At the HQ base, everyone is incredibly stuck up, entitled, and the rest of the bases loathe flying with an HQ based crew.
My base is the opposite, known for a great group of pilots, we kind of ‘do our own thing’.
My experience in the military is rather aligned with this, the further away you get from the flag, the better the climate and culture is.
My question is if United is a big enough company that this doesn’t exist or if there are nuances about different bases. If so, what’s the widely accepted best climate/culture base?
Thank you for the insight!

I find the cultural differences vary in terms of fleet and age rather than in bases but of course IAH has the biggest differences. I’ve flown with younger Guys who transitioned over to narrow body from wide. They couldn’t stand the wide body captains . Most younger folks couldn’t stand flying with boomers. And in my personal experience (and I mean very personal) I’m on red alert flying with older unmarried guys . They haven’t learned nitpicking about small ******* is annoying and ruins the cohesiveness in the flight deck. strictly bias from me I guess . Otherwise I personally have enjoyed flying with most older gentleman. Politics vary, but IAH again takes the cake for the most politically charged .

Dead on for IAH
Them west Texas boys wearing the Texas sh!t kicker boots always cracks me up. You can hear them coming well before you see them .Klump klump 🤣
And believe it or not , they wear them with baggy pleated front uniform pants .
Belt looped cell phone holder is standard issue with the ex con boys in Iah and united sop is just a recommendation. “ That’s a United thing , we didn’t do it that way at continental “ lol .
Different breed indeed .
