As a UA pilot, I hate code sharing.....
When I was on the 747 in 1991 we had 85 F/O's in JFK......
One year after code sharing began we had 28.......
If we sell a ticket on United it damn well should be flown by UAL pilots, not German Pilots, English Pilots, Thai Pilots ad nauseum.
PS Hand Solo, we are not heavily subsidized in the US. In fact, we are not subsidized at all.
