DO NOT WAIT for any company. Get the first prom date you can and if a prettier girl says yes eventually, then evaluate your options.
This industry is way too fickle for anyone to put their own career advancement on hold while a particular company decides whether it needs more pilots or not.
The ONLY smart play as a pilot is to send resumes to every company you'd be happy to make a career at until one of those companies calls, and then keep updating until your precious chosen one says yes.
Oh BTW if UAL doesn't hire another pilot till March of 2018, there will be 10 others that think this timing is just perfect! It's not personal, it's business.
