Left seat of 757 first IOE. Thought I was done flying with scabs, but lo and behold, a scab LCA shows up. Didn't talk much that IOE, came off the guppy/Shuttle, so didn't need much instruction.
Right up to the point we were over BOS rt downwind over the airport at 8,000 ft, and the controller says, "I don't believe it UAL, you're #1, cleared for the visual, 4R, keep it in tight." Mind you, 8,000 over the airport.
I thought that scab was going to suck up the seat cushion, major but crawl in the seat! I had fun, but him, not so much! Rolled out on final, 500', on speed, on glide path...

I had the distinct displeasure of sitting next to scabs on both "sides" of the new UAL. I always thought UAL scabs were weirdos because we tripped them like (rap their entire careers. Turns out they were just weirdos before they showed up. LCAL scabs came from the same mother, and the same school.
IMHO

Anyone remember that not too long ago "regional airlines" worked under FAR part 135 rules and didn't fly anything more than about 40 seats. How times change.

I don't know how to break this to you captain obvious but let's try the direct approach. You don't seem to much of subtle detail kind of a guy.
In the days of the 727 and the 737-200 at UAL there were NO RJs. So yeah dude that is the flying that has been stolen by RJs. Which might be why it looks familiar to you? Doncha think?
