Not concerned about airframe or flying style or how long I'll sit reserve. Whatever awful schedule United can throw at me still beats flying for uncle sam
Recently IAH was getting a lot of newhires. Can’t imagine it would take very long to get based there. Best bet of course is to get on the 737 for sure. This is always changing. Two years ago getting 737 Captain in Cleveland took 15 years. Then a guy with barely a year got it. Haven’t seen too many Cleveland Captain bids available recently. It ebbs and flows. That said, I think you’re in a good spot to get it in less than a year. Assuming you get the 737
