Note: Other than a few hours to get my ATP and MEI certificate, I haven't flown since September 2014 (18+ months). Several folks throughout the process have said United is no longer holding fast to the 100 hrs in previous 12 months rule.
Congrats and welcome. Good to hear about the 100 hrs deal and 18 months out isn't that long. I talked with CV (previous chief of hiring) a couple years ago about this issue and he was pretty adamant about the 100 hrs. Perhaps this has changed and/or been relaxed with the new hiring staff. I have a number of friends in your shoes finishing a stellar service career in a non-flying staff job.
