Great thread. And thanks for all the advice so far.
Most desired scenario until upgrade would be WB FO on the west coast at United. Looks like that would be SFO on the Triple. QOL of life is important, but a job at United pays off in the long term and may be worth the short term commuter pain. I have roughly 20 years until I retire.
1. If I get hired this year, with all the UAL retirements coming up, would I be able to make CA 777 at United? Any ideas when?
2. At my age is it likely I will get 75/76 class? Will previous wide body time count towards this or is it just a roll of the dice which airplane you get?
3. What is the most likely path to WB on West Coast? NB east coast for a few years then WB? Or WB much sooner than has been normal?
4. How many days per month are less senior pilots working on the WB fleet from SFO? How long are average trips from home?
I sincerely appreciate any and all advice here!
