Your thinking logical? Oh come on now.... Maybe on that Super ego planet your living on... I'll go with prejudice and out of touch... Cool aide comment was directed at why you think some CAL guys voted yes... Maybe they voted yes to stop YOU from crying in your skirt about all the injustice you've had in your career? Looks like if they did vote that way it didn't work. Their bad. Yes I voted on the contract and guess which way..Hey CD you'll always be crying about something time to order a new skirt from M and H ....

How often has UAL flown that? Seems to me it has been dropped and restarted a few times. Meanwhile that pathetic POS CAL guppy has gone 3X/day to EWR since the NG showed up. What a POS!

I'm sorry Sunvox, I just couldn't resist. I have not met a happy UA pilot in the last 30 years. While flying a B-99 I remember talking to a UA 727 F/O in his Columbo Tan uniform that told me "Whatever you do, don't go to work for United Airlines!"
You should have taken the ugly girl back in the mid 90's!
Good luck, really.

Just looked at Fri schedule. Not a single 800/900 doing the direct flights. 3/700, 1/757, 1/320... But no super guppies. Guess those aren't the end all/beat all acft they are supposed to be.
Does NG = Not Good?

Newer 320 and 21's are available with much bigger motors than New Guppies. I flew 321's with 34k per motor. Rockets, even at MTW. Much lower landing speeds as well. 800NG's are a bit performance limited but fairly good overall. 900's should have never been built.

You'll have to forgive me cause I am only a General Practitioner, but its been my take that many on this sub board have agreed with your question on the NG. Silly for me thinking its better for our job security to have a network that can support 3 700 transcons/day instead of 2 on a 57. Certainly the reality that DAL is parking their 57's for 900ER new deliveries should not weigh against the fact that CAL ordered a bunch of POS stretch guppies that will never replace the 57. Btw of the five flights you mentioned, three are nonstop which was what others scoffed at as unlikely in a guppy. Of those in the transcon market we have 1 757 and 2 700's. Guess Fifi isn't quite the end all to be all.
