United and Continental Merger Will Make Flying to Europe Easier – Conde Nast Daily Traveler
United is doing some interesting things with its new combined fleet, and that means new destinations from Dulles that couldn’t be served before.
Couldn’t UA have picked up some 757’s that they could have flown from IAD to Europe all these years if the had wanted to?

Nope, another one will be up on Monday.
Oh the UA article brought up the question, what ever happened to that back handed outsourcing UA tried a bit back by having one of their partners (Aer Lingus?) fly and staff it into IAD?
It’s still happening, believe it or not. I have no doubt it’ll be gone as part of the next pilot contract, whenever that happens.
