To give some actual numbers to this argument Ua profit sharing was 7.26% and they do not get any retirement contributions on that. As a lowly NB guy that’s $23,500 less in gross total compensation than I made at Delta for same amount of credit time. But hey WB’s right?

(I interviewed last week and they told us 157 in class in March. So 40 a class? Expecting a 3/16 class. Idk how they’re going to find the sim space. Are they sending guys outside of ATL to do sim?)
Curious when you applied and how long you had to wait before getting the call for an interview? I applied early Jan and curious for the average wait time. Thanks.

Many people have had their apps on file for many many years, some get a call, some don’t. It’s anyone’s guess. If you’re military it will be less time.

It seems the class sizes are alternating between large and small class size. The 2/3 class has 44 in it and the class starting tomorrow will be about 27, less than 30 because that’s all the seats they have in that classroom. It’s based off of the classroom size for now. So the class on the 17th should be 40 plus.
If 27 is the # for tomorrow’s class that will make 71 pilots in the 1st two classes on February.

Sim space for newhires isn’t as big a bottleneck as LCAs to fly OE (depending on fleet). There are more sims for the aircraft they’ll likely get to choose (717, 737, 320, 200, and maybe a scattering of 7ER), and no prohibitions on middle of the night sim periods. Provided you don’t get sick and miss sims and show up prepared so you don’t need additional sims, the training footprint runs pretty much on schedule. There is the possibility of off site sims, but I don’t know when the last time was that we used those, despite all the rumors that we need to any day.

pretty sure they still use both the Boeing and Airbus sims in Miami fairly regularly. I did sims in Miami for both my IQ programs—717 four years ago and ER two years ago. When I was hired, rumor was the company was considering sending folks to Australia to use Qantas’ 717 sims, so they do have some fallback plans if they absolutely need them.
