I just applied at United.

I am 48, live in Santa Barbara, and if hired, plan to bid the 737 and GUM if it becomes available. We would rent our house out and move the family there for 1-3 years, maybe more if my wife and young boys like it. So far everyone is keen. I've spent a few months on a sailboat in Pohnpei and Kosrae, and our family loves the ocean so we would welcome the adventure.

In the likely event that GUM is not available, I'd bid 737 LAX and be local.

Anyone know if the last class had any GUM awards to a new hire? Someone earlier in the thread said that base and AC choice goes from old (senior) to young. Would my chances of getting the aircraft and base of my choice (GUM or LAX) be good because of my age?

Cheers,
Grant
