Good luck with your interview. Being Denver based with United has a lot of perks above and beyond what others have posted. If you want to be home every night you can go into the training center and become an instructor or get into some other non flying positions there. There are also hundreds of instructors that live in Denver that will buy off your trips to get you more time at home or you can double dip with more flying. With seniority you can bid for the trips more likely to get bought off. They added more gates earlier this year with plans for even more, so there is growth to keep things moving. DEN used to be an extremely senior base, but in the last handful of vacancy bids there have been unfilled Captain spots, so if that continues you could hold CA once off probation.

I hate to sound like a kook-aid drinker because United does have its issues and hopefully they’ll get resolved with a new contract. But when it comes to quality of life and opportunities as a pilot who lives in Denver, United has so many more advantages over Southwest.
