Is it just me or does channel 9 seem to be proactively available more on the sUA 752s operating the transcons than on the other aircraft that offer it? Sure, most of the other planes are flying over oceans, but I've noticed the 757 captains as a whole are really into this more than other captains I've flown with. Captain Denny ethos?

Update: Yes, I know these folks can and sometimes do fly 767s as well, but my understanding is that there's a cadre of line holders from the JFK days who always bid these transcon 757 routes.
