I have been scouting the threads here to learn more but had some questions.
- How happy are people at the company right now? I'm reading a lot of people are leaving cause of the bonus payouts for new hires, not happy about lines etc. QOL good?
- how long are the upgrade times? I realize this is only a prediction but are they telling the truth saying that upgrades are projected 18-24 months? I read somewhere the upgrades right now are something like 5 years?
- Someone told me that this whole new contract with United is dependent on them hiring a bunch of pilots, how is that going so far?
I'm sorry for all the questions, just trying to make the right decision here.
Thank you
People are very happy here. It's one of the best pilot groups you could ask for. I understand people being unhappy about lines though. I'm pretty irate with my 17 days off and 92 credit in September. Hiring, by all accounts, is going well. Classes are full. Upgrade time will drop. Right now it's over five but once upgrades resume consistently, they'll come down. The seniority list has to grow substantially, and it is, for the ual flying. It's a great place to hang your hat.
