Several hundred Pilot Instructor positions at the Training Center available to line pilots after 1 year of service.
Prob an additional Hundred Check Captain positions at the Training Center to line pilots after line service as a Captain.
The Training Center positions are apply/interview positions available and right now they are having open houses and inviting pilots who are coming up on a year of service to try to get people to come work in the sim world.
All together between the airport and the sim building we have to have around 1800-2000 pilots based in Denver. On the current vacancy (and previous ones) there are unfilled vacancies for 737 Captain, so if you have been here a year (UA rule that you have to be here a year before bidding Captain) you could hold Captain in Denver.
Thanks guys for the amount of pilots based in Denver for each airline. Seems like both have around 1300 line pilots. If you go into the training department at UAL and training slows down can you just go back to the line in DEN?
Is reserve really so bad at UAL that guys living in base won't take the year upgrade to Captain? It seems like you would be more likely to get bounced out of DEN at United if they downsize or move the airplane you are on and if training guys can bump you if they go back to the line.
