New Hire Quality of Life
So, IF I got an interview, hired, etc., my understanding is that there will be hiring into 737/756 EWR and 737/756 IAH and Guam. As for me, I live about 3 ½ hours from IAH, and I’m big on quality of life and time at home. Eventually, I think I would move closer to a base, but I’d wait to see how the L-UAL bases went as far as seniority, so I could probably expect to commute the first few years. Considering that:
Is there a commuting policy?
Is EWR or IAH junior?
Where are new hires going to be placed if there are vacancies in multiple bases (is there a ‘drop’ in each class)? How is seniority determined among new hires?
How quickly can you bid different bases/equipment after your new hire class? How about Guam?
Is there a long and short call reserve? How does reserve compare on the 737 v. 756 in IAH?
How long would it take to get a line, and which airplane would you bid to maximize the time spent away from home?
How do junior lines compare on the 737IAH and 756IAH?
Thanks much!
