So, I've been in the regionals most of my airline career. I've been through two furloughs, so I'm one of those lost decade pilots when we all went through that ugly recession. I'm currently at a airline that has potential growth but not willing to put up the money to attract and retain. My goal is to get hired by United but it is a murky pathway. So, just trying my best to make a clear choice on getting aboard UAL.

Curious how bonus money works, if hired as DEC?


How about reserve life as a DEC. If a commuter and with current growth how many days in crashpad can one might expect? Also, how long on reserve as a DEC until one would see a line?


How many guys from your CPP are being hired each year or at least in the pool of new hires? Approximate time frame from being put in pool to starting class is what?


Does C5 have AQP? If so, is it a nine or twelve month rotation?



Thanks for your feedback and any other insight as I chew on these questions and more.
