QOL
 

If I were to take a poll how would the results look in regards to QOL, scheduling, and reserve\ lines? I’ve read a fair bit on here and it seems there are many reasons some recommend avoiding AWA, but some good points as well.
Would an FO with 121 already typed build time to make Cpt fairly quickly and enjoy doing it here?

If you live in base or can EASILY one-leg commute you will enjoy it here. I came over from a different 121 airline and will be able to upgrade to CA as soon as seniority allows if I choose to earn the extra stripe. I enjoy the people I work with and I enjoy being paid more with duty rig and trip rig protection. I also find it easy to pick up extra “critical” flying which is paid at 200%. This means I regularly credit 110-115 hrs per month while only actually flying about 80. I was typed in the CL-65 and found the training very thorough, yet fair. You can PIC this plane after getting off IOE.

I would also add that the CPP is supposed to start 4th quarter of this year which will make already healthy seniority movement even faster. I wouldn’t count on it as your only path to a major, but it can’t hurt and will reinforce the recent fast upgrades and get the upper end of the list moving.

First 10 people all got emails from United and management to update their apps. Only 10 are going this year.

Only 10? Only 10. That's 2% of our pilot group. If that number is consistent per 1/4 that's almost 10% of the pilot group per year. HE EVERYBODY, WE'RE ALL GONNA GET LAID!!!

What is your source for this?

A CPP candidate who received the email. Whether or not the company sends more is anyone’s guess but the top 10 who completed the entire CPP got emails. Which from what I’m hearing is about 25% of the candidates which made it through both stages.

The email actually said only 10 are going this year?

No it didn’t say 10 specifically. He spoke with others who were pulled and the consensus was they were the only ones who would be selected this year.

This information is all heresay of course and anything can change, but if the rumors of 10% AWA per United class is true this number is about right. My guess would be 2 pilots a month going forward.

United is hiring 100 per month right now.
