Would the 50 aircraft with options for 65 be because of staffing? Just a guess, ramp up hiring to staff all 65, no problem. I was interviewed with 10 and the next day I read a gouge on pilot interviews.com the person said they had 12, just give it some time. It takes people time to figure out if a career move is going to be the right move, its only been a few months.

One of them paid for my dinner on a recent overnight.
They know they won't be able to upgrade until the company can get more FOs. Meanwhile they all seem to be enjoying their QOL

The company sits here and advertises this 18 month upgrade yet the reality is, it's not going to happen. The united announcement came out over a month ago and the latest vacancy with staffing dates into november has zero upgrades. Ask the guys hired two years ago who were told to expect a 24 month upgrade how that's working out. In reality they will be lucky to upgrade in 18 months.

IIRC AWAC had ~850 pilots when they had 88 airplanes operating for United. Now it's 65 airplanes... guessing with 117 they probably need around 700 to feel comfortable, however my guess is they'll end up with ~650.
How do block hours for United compare to the recent hours under AA? That's a better indicator of how many guys are needed.
That being said take a risk and roll the dice, they might get more airplanes as XJT winds down.

They had 274 50's at one point. Down to around 100 now. I'm thinking United wants to establish their own dedicated feeders like Delta and AA have.

Youll need two options to get to work and the second option needs to arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to your check in. If neither of them work you may have a turn dropped or something until you can get back into your trip or the company will positive space you depending on their needs.

There's no doubt in my mind United wants its own wholly-owns. It's only a matter of time before all of the legacies operate their entire operations from top to bottom.
