Do guys bypass upgrade at United? Sounds foolish to me, but what do I know.
Thousands of UA FO's can hold captain. That's not an exaggeration. Many can hold wide body captain. Thats good and bad. CA can go jr in EWR and SFO as a result. Denver however is generally exceedingly senior. At the moment there are no wide bodies in DEN and I doubt there will be soon. That will keep the CA seat sr there for a long time. JR FO is DEN isn't all that senior but I just checked and this dude is the junior Guppy CA;
By the time you can hold DEN caption on the 737 you could probably hold a line on the 757 in SFO or EWR. Plan accordingly. If your primary career goal is DEN CA, UA might not be the best choice. Good luck.
