Since retirements are even greater at American Airlines, would you go to AA instead of UAL? Ual will be retiring @3.5% every year and AA is retiring @5.5% a year.

I would if I lived in Dallas or Miami. They're still working through merger issues, but "first major with a class date" is still the best advice you'll get.

Good luck getting the call from American. Their flow agreements have a large portion of every class and off the street is few and far between. If you live in one of their bases I would guess that JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, or United would call before them.

You're right, sorry

Congrats man. You will love it at either. CEO's change but Doug Parker doesn't strike me as being a good leader when the going gets tough. US Air was always a disaster when he was running things. United has issues too but the training, pilots, and overall atmosphere here is very positive and we seem to be recovering from the PR nightmare. If your first class offered is at United you will have made up your mind by the time you finish ioe. United should be draining the pool by the end of the year so you should hear about a class date shortly.
