Dear xxxxx xxxxxxxx,
Thank you for your interest in United Airlines. We plan to be hiring pilots in the fourth quarter of 2012 and in to 2013. In preparation for this hiring, we are updating our application and addendum to better reflect post merger requirements. These changes are nearly complete and we expect to start reviewing applications in the coming week.
Please make sure your United (previously Continental) application in Airline Apps is up to date and check back regularly for any announcements regarding application changes.
Thank you,
United Airlines Pilot Development

I bid IAH (because it was a shorter drive from CA), but didn't get it. A little after I finished training and moved, a new bid was out and I got it. I had already moved, so they let me stay in EWR.
You can also bid up in aircraft. If you are hired in the 737, you can bid a higher paying aircraft anytime. If you want to move down in pay, you have to wait 2 years. I did three type ratings my first year (737/757/767). Got my fourth rating around my 5th year (777). I wasn't chasing ratings, it just worked out that way.
