Would you push back your class to the Jan one? Is there a number that makes it worth it to delay class, or is it a big mistake to wait?
almost always, at every airline not just united, a big mistake to wait. One class date can/has caused people to have vastly different careers, furloughed 3 times or just above the water line and not furloughed. Is even $50,000 worth the risk over a 20-40 year, multi million dollar career at a major? Are you willing to take the risk that nothing happens in the world that causes united to cancel any new hire classes, or to have those be the last ones for a year and miss the boat completely? seniority is EVERYTHING in the airlines
