If they wait that long it will be to late. They are already struggling to fill classes and keep up with attrition. United has not really been hiring for the last 5 months and now they are ramping back up so you can expect twice as many pilots leaving per month next year.

If true then now is the time to be sweetening the pot. Unlike CS its time to be proactive not reactionary for the time that we are all here which hopefully is relatively short.

This.

United slowed down due to the relocation of all their training operations to DEN, as well as an expansion of the current facility. By this time next year it will all be up and running. A buddy of mine there says that 700 new pilots isn't an unreasonable number for 2017.

Companies that are offering sign on and retention bonuses are doing so because they can't attract pilots in any other way, usually long upgrades and or crappy old planes. Endeavors bonus program ends soon. Ask yourself would any airline just give out 20k to each pilot if it was the place to work and could attract people....if yes that's some seriously generous management and they moist
Love their labor!!!

80-100 is not accurate. The longer term average (people who are left at the end of IOE) runs more like 60 per month.

They did. Time will tell whether they will disappoint once again. UA has failed to deliver on their internal growth targets for the last three years!!!

The current washout rate is 6% not 20%

That's more than quite a few regionals combined. Those ppl leaving are usually military. Regardless we aren't struggling to find people. We have 50 plus recruiters working on this and most candidates are at least good in quality
