For instance you have a CO 738 flying IAD-LAX, I can imagine the pairing will be EWR-IAD-LAX layover, LAX-IAD-EWR or something like that. A PMUA aircraft flying EWR-SAN for example the crew will probably go IAD-EWR-SAN layover SAN-EWR-IAD etc. PMUA FA's haven't even been trained on PMCO aircraft, however PMCO FA's have been trained on PMUA 747 and A319/A320 aircraft. Interestingly enough the 1200 or so FA's the airline is hiring over the next year are actually gonna be working on the CO side of the operation (will either be based in EWR, IAH OR CLE) and will be working off of CO'S IAM contract. Another interesting thing is that the new hires are actually making more money than the most junior FA's at UA. UA may pay more an hour for it's junior FA's, but CO FA's are guaranteed more hours. CO 83 hours vs UA 75 hours.
