So they may still have Guam slots available, but if they run out of total 737 slots before they get to you, you still can’t get it. That said, in the last class the 737 was available at the next to last person in class, so it varies class by class.
That being said, it does come up on vacancies and goes fairly junior. However, If you are coming to United with the expectation of getting it right off the bat, that’s probably not the best bet. Not that it’s desirable or not desirable, just that it’s small and it’s vacancies are based largely on things less predictable than our larger hubs.

Yep. that’s kind of the point. Don’t come to United if you must have a 737 to Guam.
