Can I expect only a one on one (or two on one) interview for United on the day they call you for the interview?? Fly into ORD the morning of the 18th, they said it would take 4-5 hours....then flying home.

One HR type and one Captain

To the guys that have been hired by UAL, when are your class dates?

9/24
10/15
10/29

Beyond that, not sure.

Are there classes going on right now? Does anyone know what A/C they are going to and which bases. I hear that Denver is pretty senior. Any idea how long it would take to get DEN?

I know the class dates. I was just wondering who is in what class!

I'm sorry if this question has been asked already, but I did a search for it and didn't find the answer.

Health Care costs? How much does it cost? I heard there is no out of pocket cost, even to the new hire. Is that true? Thanks.

Rob,

I'm in the 9/24 class. So far I've only tracked down one other person in my class. Either these people don't read Flight Info and APC or they are lying low till class.

9/24 is the first class of new hires. 20 slots...10 Airbus and 10 Guppy...all to DCA is what I was told by the New Hire Project Manager.

United provides full medical, dental, and life insurance for you, your spouse/domestic partner, and dependents. New employees, depending upon where you live, may have several medical and dental options to choose from. Some options incur a monthly charge. In addition, United will contribute 15% of your salary to a 401k program that you manage. You may elect to contribute more to your 401k program if you choose, but this does not change the company contribution.

This implies that it is covered by the company...but I find that hard to believe. I guess the "some options incur a monthly charge" statement applies somewhere along the line. I think that the HMO option is free if you live in an area where it is offered. The traditional PPO costs around $200 a month for a family.

Thanks for the info Scott. I heard there was a rumor going around of new hires going into the wide body but I thought that was a bit far fetched.
