His dad is a retired UAL mechanic and grew up wanting to fly for UAL, but he lives near Detroit so that explained it. When I came back on property back Oct 2014, I bumped into one guy who turned down an offer from Fedex in favor of United, but he also had a mil retirement.

For you future UAL guys with class dates, did you pass on offers from others?

Just curious if the tides are changing.😎
Passing on Fedex is an easy one. For some it's their true #1 choice, others just are not cut out for back side of clock flying, and career military may have already figured that out.
