FWIW, all new-hire training on the 737 with bases in EWR/IAH was the plan---and is one that UAL is still pursuing to a certain extent.

However, ALPA is also rightfully holding the company's feet to the fire and has reminded the company that new-hires must be placed in unfilled vacancies from equipment awards and not just where the company has convenient near-term training capacity. There should be another equipment bid opening very soon that will provide some insight into the future bases/fleets for new-hires. In fact, line pilots are being told to expect monthly equipment bids for the foreseeable future.

Stay tuned.
I cometely understand I was just relaying what I was told 3-4 weeks ago. It doesn't matter to me, ewr would be great but I am just happy to be a part of it now.
