Hope this finds you well. Don't know what to do. Seems like everyone that is going to UAL is holding WB within 2 years. I am sitting on flowing to AAL im 8 months with a bonus pay out of 115k, I always though AA was the better choice based on retirements, but they are hiring so much that by the time I get there might as well go to UAL. Both of these choice are within 3 hour drive to work AA being the clases. Please help me clear my head.
Thank you.
First year at United gives you $12.75k in your 401K
Second year 787/777 pay at United is min $154k and $24k in the 401k
Its looking like 5+ years to get Group 4 FO pay at AA. In the next 8 months AA will be hiring 1440- 2240 pilots who aren’t you. Many of which will be younger than you and may prevent you from being a Group 4 CA at AA. Or a commuting Group 4 CA. You’ll be able to be a 767 CA at United in approximately 8-10 years and a 787 CA in 18-20.
