I took a look at those LOS and ACC trips on maxgumby. It looks like those are 5 day trips that pay 25 hours. So, is a junior line typically 3 of those and gone 15 days a month?

I’m not in the 121 world yet, just on the outside looking in.

Thanks for the info. What about narrowbody fleet at IAD? I was considering starting there and maybe upgrading for the first 3-5 years of my time with United, then jumping to widebody stuff. Would getting a 737 FO spot at IAD shortly after indoc be realistic?

Most indoc classes recently haven't had IAD options, but you'd almost certainly be able to get it on the first vacancy after starting. Wouldn't be more than a few months tops.

Resurrecting this thread as I'm 2 weeks from starting class and Im working through what aircraft I might want to bid.

What is currently the fastest way back to IAD? I'm guessing the 73 but also wondering the DOH for the most jr pilot on the 320, 756 and 787.

TIA

737, 320, 756, 787, 777 in that order

Thats awesome, thanks.

You wouldn’t have handy the DOH of the most Jr. WB pilots in base? Just case I get stuck on one of those fleets during Indoc

They’re all less than a year. But even if the 747 has an 8 month FO and the A380 has a 5 month FO that doesn’t really predict which one you can hold 6 months from now. Junior man can swing wildly bid to bid when you’re looking at months on property

If you’re base chasing, you want

1) Narrowbody (737>320 because it’s a bigger fleet). That gives you additional opportunity to upgrade immediately to any fleet if it helps change base

2) 756 - can still upgrade to 777/787 if helpful

3) 777/787 - fewest options to move bases
