Denver base
 

Hello,

How senior is Denver? How long would it take to hold it for a new hire?

Thanks

Senior 2+ years 4 years is on reserve.

Thanks! I'm guessing the junior bases are: LAX, SFO and Newark? Maybe IAH is fairly junior?

Denver/Houston/Guam/Chicago are senior

Good to know, thank you.

IAH?? Pffffff... been here for almost a year and not even close to holding it.

I'm a 3 May 2016 hire (1 year 8 months), and I'm still about 200 numbers from holding Denver on the 737. Hoping for late fall or early 2019 right now.

Does one airframe get there quicker than the other? Is it a big difference?

Just going off the junior man table, the 737 has a slight edge (about 200#'s) over the bus. 756 would take you 3-4 more years.

Lax is only jr on the 737..320 has not had new hires in about a year and zero movement.

And for the other seat... Foghettaboutit!!!

In my 21st year. I would be one from the bottom in the left seat of the 737 and can’t hold the 320 in Den. Of course getting a bid...Once again see the foghettadoutit above.

You’ve been on property 21 years and can’t hold left seat in Den? Or been with United for 21 years? Not throwing stones - just curious.

Just an observation from sitting in the terminal: Part of the problem is Southwest. They weren’t even in Denver until 10 yrs ago, now they are #1 there.

Yet UA management has mentioned recently that DEN is the most profitable hub. Go figure.

United is #1. Swa is a distant second.

Yes. They’re a problem. They are far from #1.

I’ve heard that rumor only from pilots. Is there a document to back that up or is it from some clueless middle manager with diarrhea of the mouth like the guy who said we are going to have 18000 pilots soon.

I’ve heard a rumor that Denver does have great catering though.

If you call Scott Kirby middle management, then ok......

I’ve been a pilot at United since Sept of 1997. My seniority number is 6490 ish. I’ve never been furloughed, I’ve never taken an extended leave which would affect my seniority.


The ISL was better to some than others.

The 757 is pretty junior in LAX too, and there has been zero movement in the 737 there in over a year too. Just backwards movement.

Understatement of the year!

1999 hire...8400 ish

I see from the article no hard numbers showing it’s the most profitable and when did the RJ king say that since the link references another article without sourcing it? I can’t find anything in United investor relations or on flying together.
