SEA 777 base to close

Delta just announced new flying to Inchon and Hong Kong out of SEA.

Delta Launches New Seattle Service to Seoul and Hong Kong - Yahoo! Finance

Because it would require United to actually compete on those routes, I think we all know what's in store for the UAL SEA 777 base! Wasn't this the blueprint for HNL and ANC?

Think i read ref international flying changes, there will be 787 base on the west coast and service in SEA by the 787. If the conditions and restrictions are approved requested to the panel by the L-CAL merger committee, it will not be any L-UA pilots on the first 30 787s for sometime....matching the proposed 747 fence. We will hopefully know in the next few weeks.

I agree. No fences at all. If they do the SLI the right way, there should be enough seniority protection for all of us.

Of course you L-UALers want no fences. You've been slobbering for a couple of years to get your hands on some new metal as quickly as possible.

No fences? Tell that to the lual pilots who are a couple hundred numbers from the 777 or 400.

I bet the Justice Department (what a farce of a name; I can't even write the words without smirking) will withdraw or settle their lawsuit once they get the kickbacks they're looking for. Just like the new United had to be headquartered in Chicago for our merger to go through. Dirty politicians. Do they come any other way?
