As a corporate pilot with jet PIC time, I am hoping to get on with United. Here are some basic questions as I have no airline experience...

1. Would it be possible to get Chicago right off the bat since that is their headquarters? If not, where would I likely end up?

2. How long can I expect it to take before getting off reserve?

3. I have a youngster at home...if I commute will I have any family life or at the start while on reserve and commuting do you spend all your time off traveling back and forth to work?

4. How many days are you typically on vs off? (For a commuter where on is sitting at an airport away from family waiting on a call)

Thanks!
