If past practice holds....
Back in 2000, after the big announcement of the us/ua merger, hiring at US (along with a lot of other day to day planning and management) immediately stopped while all energy was diverted to thoughts of merger.
Hope I'm wrong and US keeps hiring. It's a good lesson in not falling for the next big thing until it really happens.

From the perspective of the past at UA Air (Hiring till the day of furlough) Would it be wise to leave a relatively good job to go there with the hopes of moving up the list as retirements at both airlines are scheduled to accelerate?
WOuld it be better to go there get the number, get furloughed for a bit but come back to the number?

That's funny. Delta hired around 350 pilots in 2010 and then stopped, yet none of them were furloughed. Not to mention the 2007/2008 hires. I don't recall Southwest, FedEx, or JetBlue furloughing either.
