777-300 staffing

I have a trivial question. Will it be legacy UA or CO flight attendants staffing these planes assuming they have no contract/seniority list?

Good question. No idea. However, the first plane doesn't arrive till Dec 2016. I would be a crime if Oscar doesn't give them a contract by then.

Agreed, but I think it'll be a photo finish.

The upcoming 787 deployment on West Coast is gonna be rough on UAL senior mammas and speakers. Latest I heard is that AFA won't let L-CAL FA's have their own local council in SFO which is creating tons of drama. Really hope they get this done, but not optomistic.

The cascade effect starts with United using the 777-300ER to replace 777-200ER flights, in particular out of Newark. Mumbai, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, and Beijing/Shanghai seem like strong candidates for replacement.
