BUS is regional!
airbus doesn’t go to STT 🤣 I checked all the locations it goes, and 99% is regional. Few cities in Canada and Mexico and that’s all.
rumors were for Hawaii for past 1.5 years but guess what?! Nada let alone flying across Atlantic 🤣
I would rather go to 737 or wide body FO.
BTW, had this dude on JS the other day who was 4 year FO on 777 out of SFO, showing his monthly paycheck! It was 15k more than the Captains. The moral of the story is why take all that stress and be narrow body captain when you can be just be wide body IRO and make more than that and have more days off?
this new contract is in favor of those wide body guys, if you all could’t have figured it out yet!

I flew with a former SFO 777 FO and we compared notes. He didn’t get to CA pay, but he also didn’t fly a ton. 737 CA is definitely the money maker at UA unless you’re too 20% on the WB and live in base

15K more than a guppy Captain, how much of that was PP flying? I find that hard to believe if he is clearing 15K more than a guppy ca as a 4 year 777 FO. Matter fact, it’s almost to a point where I am calling BS on it unless there’s a ton of PP flying.

I think a WB F/O can make the same as NB Capt if they are flexible with their schedule and hawk the premium pay board. Really it’s just a trade off do you want to do more work in the airplane as a NB Capt, or more work watching the trade board and shifting your schedule around.

if you would have said my CA was year 2 and this FO made 5K more than him I might believe you.

DEN 320 CA going down to 13,8XX seniority on the snapshot. Anyone know what hire date this is? Guessing its early 2022. Still a little surprised to see post pandemic hires getting CA in IAH and DEN when I was assured by the derps that there were "hundreds" of pre-pandemic hires that had been waiting for years to upgrade to Captain but hadn't done it yet and the post-pandemic hires had missed the window that would be a decade before they could upgrade, but yet here we are. Also noticed 737 CA backfills in a few bases as well and thought no more guppy captains until next fall.
So weird.
