One final conversation starter on this topic: I find it funny if United embraces the use of their future widebody fleet as they do with their current and taking them all the way to 30 years+, there’s a chance we (people in my age bracket) could fly the 787 classic all the way to retirement as pilots

Kinda scary to be honest.

Actually, let’s replace those 30+ year old 787s with the A350s we ordered back in 2009!

Surprised you didn’t die of a heart attack after seeing this “super scary super old plane the pilot’s grandfather piloted”

Ah, I see. Well 737s all the way to retirement for you. Me personally I wanna do the E175 for regional flying, then the MAX initially for the mainline, and then 787s later in the career.

Nah. B-52 is awesome.

Then what’s scary about a 30 years old 787?
Remember kids, you can’t retire a B-52 until it’s went through all letters of the alphabet for variants!

Maybe UA is just waiting the B-52s to retire to introduce the A350s

Fair. I’m perfectly happy flying 737’s though. Besides, it makes transitioning from one to another easier.

787 and MAX have my two favourite cockpits, so that’s why I like them
