Airbus driver right now, flew 737 in the past, not a big fan but wouldn’t mind too much if I could live in Denver.
Would I be too crazy to even try going to UA?. We haven’t hired in a while, classes start again in January so some movement coming.
No kids, no wife, and I miss flying WB, but I understand DEN WB is extremely senior, probably like DFW WB for us.
Thoughts?
DEN widebody is super senior (only 787 no triple), and even then there are only like 3 sort of 4 destinations I believe ( MUC,NRT, FRA and LHR via LAX) most junior FO is about a June/July 23 hire most junior line holder is 8000 numbers more senior system wide...also NO vacancies last bid.
At 42...which is how old I am....you likely know what area works best for you and those around you. Narrow body DEN is not senior at all.
I cannot and will not speak for the Seven Hundred Thirty Seven but for da bus: if you are flying a widebody at AA, it's going to be VERY Sobering comparatively.
