I hope Mr. 11 years is DFW based!

People say a lot of stuff though

Remember when everyone was voting no for this last TA?

I'm a captain and already did 2 interviews. On my last commute (on NK) the captain said he has a class date at AA. Another captain I know from my previous base also has an AA class date and a UA offer. Most are reaching for the ejection handle.

Last 3 captains I flew with; one had class dates from UAL and AA (9 years NK), another had CJO’s from all 3 and a class date from AA (6 year capt) and the last one was an 18 year LCA who has an app in at UAL. I still think the resignations will be significantly FO heavy.

And sadly none are DFW based Catpilot.

Anyone wanting a 737 CA slot at UA can be awarded a CA upgrade in intro, upgrading as soon as off probation and likely getting CA pay after 350 hours of company time. Second year CA pay in 2025 will be $335 an hour.

https://d2r1lrrqctgamh.cloudfront.net/UAL/TA/upa23-2023-09-29.pdf#page35

DC is 17% with immediate vesting going up to 18% in 2026.

https://d2r1lrrqctgamh.cloudfront.net/UAL/TA/upa23-2023-09-29.pdf#page336

Yep, you are going to be on reserve for a long time - mitigated by a standard 18 hour long call and significant add pay if converted to short call. So economically the hit is recoverable pretty quickly. But yeah, you'll be a junior CA for awhile. That may or may not be worth it to any given individual. Everyone is different...

I live 30 minutes from a UA base so I don't care about being on reserve for a while. It's infinitely better than commuting to reserve like I am now.

And 12 said they couldn’t afford the pay cut. Too many boats and Miata’s.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I interviewed at UA this week and in my group there was another Spirit captain. An early 2020 hire.
