You could get IAH as a new hire. I did. Then again, I'm now headed to EWR.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Would bidding the bus help get you back to IAH? I'm not read on the specifics of whatever equipment locks y'all have in place but would it be fair to say one has a better chance at eventually getting the base one wants by bidding into the most junior equipment that base flies, even if it's on another base? Trying to figure out how folks make their newhire bids work for them.

How tough is it to get ORD? My wife and I are looking to move back to the midwest at some point and having the chance to be based in ORD w/UAL would be quite nice...

It used to be the Junior base. As it is, I would think if you didn't get it right away you would be able to get it before you get out of training.

Another random question. How does United handle the 764? Is it part of the 76t/756 bid or are they bid seperately?

Is Guam still an option for a new hire? I remember reading there were a few perks for heading out there.

Since the merger Guam has been harder to get to. Lot of L-UAL guys have been bidding it, new base and all. Seems the FO side is slowing a bit, but don't think it has reached new hire capability yet. CA side is still going very senior. At some point, once all who have the desire to bid it have had the chance, Guam is historically an easy base to get to. However difficult base to become senior in, if that makes sense. Lots of turnaround on the bottom end. If interested bid 737 as soon as possible to avoid training freezes, as that is the only plane based out here. Hope this helps, good luck.
