1 unfilled vacancy on this bid, making it kind of hard to justify new hire classes after March.
Three cheers for the rapid growth at United!
8-F-3-d In the event a vacancy is not filled within three (3) months of the date the award
bulletin was issued, the vacancy shall be cancelled.
Since the prior Vacancy bid (18-03) was posted on 10-26-17, any new hire class after Jan 26, 2018 would only be able to use the unfilled vacancies from 18-04 or beyond. I am sure they will not have a class of only 1 person, so that means we will almost certainly have another bid with lots of options on the Narrowbody FO side of things coming out relatively soon. That way they can generate some unfilled slots for the rest of the spring classes.
Hopefully there will be several more before the summer, so anybody who wants to change locations, or seats, or both before then has a shot.
