Where do you Get the idea IN FACT that The CAL Rolls Royce engines OR any other engine is Better or more efficient than the PW2040's,PW4056/60,PW7077's or Pw4094's that United Flies? Because I can sure as hell tell you FACTUALLY, You have NO IDEA what you're talking about (CAL got Rolls-Royce Powered 757's because that's what EASTERN was flying on THEIR 757's when they went OVER TO CAL under LORENZO. While UAL ordererd theirs NEW with the PW2037.)

As a CAL guy I'm terrified of what Jeff would do to our domestic flying if he got to use the large lawn darts on us like Glenn did on you.

(Point in fact,, UAL will ALWAYS order Pratt over ANYBODY'S if given the choice or option! Also a point that GE knows very WELL in fact!)
What Route can the CAL 777's fly that UAL's CAN'T fly?? What Route can the CAL 757's or 767's fly that UAL's CAN'T fly?? One Idiot even claims that the UAL 777's are small engined "Ratty" airplanes. If that's REALLY so? Then We've fooled a Hell of a lot more people than Cal Has because We've flown SFO to ICN 13.5 hrs ONE WAY just fine. Where is your longerst route? And? When it comes time to FLY those "ratty" 747-400's,777-222,222ER's and 767-322's Are you going to say they're too OLD to fly? This' like "the Blind man Said ", "This I gotta SEE".
Whomever you are? You need to give the Old Ratty stuff a Break because
We Mantain our planes EVERY BIT as well as yours and the ONLY dofference is in the Cabins and UAL's are "Superior" in most EVERY way
Except for those Ord-Hawaii 777 "Cattle Cars" with 36F-312Y cabins.

***Case in point***
LAX-HNL: B767-400 (2008)....B757-200 (2009)....B737-800 (2010-->)

See a trend here?? "CAL's Fleet Equipment Justification"....Jeff's habit's are alive and well for all to see....don't have to guess here about your above mentioned 'obsession'.
