Just heard from our standards meeting:
*subject to change*
737: currently overstaffed; when we get the Max (possibly Q1 2020) DEN, ORD, LAX will be our 737 growth bases. CLE will shrink with retirements
A320: DCA, EWR SFO growth bases for the Airbus
756: static, 767-400 going to IAH
777: fluid, will see more domestic flying mixed with the 777. EWR and IAH growth
787: EWR shrink and LAX growth.
From my perspective UAL is placing its newest/most efficient aircraft in our more competitive hubs. Hiring will pick back up to 130+/month once we get the Max. Stay tuned...
