I see a change in equipment bidding strategy happening soon. I will hate to be the poor sucker stuck at the bottom on reserve for years to come just for the glory of a fourth stripe. The B757 is fairly senior through out the sUAL system on both seats, these guys will have to bump somewhere.

Too bad the -900 can't carry full people and cargo like the 757.
At book rates, it will take 45 years to make saving $2 million per year worthwhile (Boeing lists the 737-900 at around $80 million).

With 74 777's and 23 747's on the property now (you're welcome), what kind of masochist would want to spend his/her career as a 4 stripe 737 reserve whipping boy? Quality of life is where it's at baby! Right seat on a jumbo is way more 'desirable' than 737 captain any day!

Christmas . . . not home.
Birthdays . . . not home.
Easter . . . not home.
The wedding . . . not home.
The soccer finals . . . not home.
But . . . I'll do the walk around.

It will be interesting to see the CAL guys bailing from 737 Capt on to 777 FO on the west coast.
