I can’t tell if your joking or not since there was no indication.

Not everyone wants to fly a WB, especially as a newhire. To be honest, it is a pretty bad deal for newhires, with a few exceptions.

1) It’s the same pay rate first year and you will most likely just get RSV guarantee without much opportunity to make more.
2) if your a brand newhire, you want repetitions on landings/SOPs in the FO seat, not the bunkie seat.
3)If you don’t live in SFO or EWR or within driving distance, commuting to these positions on reserve is virtually guaranteed as it takes a while to hold a line in the current environment.
4) As a commuter, in this environment newhires are looking at maybe a month on reserve in the jr based on NB fleet. You can practically guarantee they will be on reserve for the full 2 years they are seat locked (unless they upgrade to a NB aircraft they have never flown).
5) If you live nearby these Jr bases, it can be an awesome deal, but not so much if u commute.
6) Although TK has prepared the syllabus recently in the WB fleets for newhires, they are mostly designed with the idea you are familiar with United SOP, so it could me a more challenging training program since most instructors are used to students who already know the ropes at United.

This post is meant for a newhire making this decision, not for someone already at United. If you’re here already u know this, but coming from off the street, these are some considerations.
