Comparing other outliers, how many 2-year captains does UA have? Delta also had a 4-month captain, but I’m not sure they got to keep their seat. All of the 2-year captains were able to hold on to a left seat as far as I know.

maybe he was meaning something like this? This is from another thread..

“I was hired by delta and United in the same month several years ago. When I take my 777 pay rate and multiply it by 1.08%, it beats the 767 I could hold there multiplied at 1.16%, by $30/hour.”

Not even close. One of my best friends is about 30% on the FO list, 767/757 at EWR and he can hold Captain in many of UALs bases.

Just as we do, they have many “lifer” FOs who retire in right seat for QOL.

I'm fairly certain that poster could hold 330/764 at DAL, so he's actually be a few bucks behind.

When he was hired it was 2 years. It's currently about 2 years on the 764.

It’s become a cascading cliche on here that when anyone asks about junior captains, invariably the conversation pivots to WB B, and the mere mention of WB’s invokes comparisons to United. How about everyone stop caring so much what other people bid, and do the type of flying that appeals to you.
