Unless you switch bases in order to change NB fleets, then it comes with the usual 24 month lock (NOTHING PREVENTS YOU FROM BASE TRADING/VACANCY BID BACK INTO YOUR ORIGINAL BASE ASAP) - without any additional penalty.
ie. EWR 320 FO wants to go 737 for some crazy reason - then after your initial 24 month newhire seat lock (going NB to NB) bid SFO 737, which you’ll get no problem. THEN the gamble...try and base trade BACK to EWR on the 737 or wait for another vacancy bid (which will seem to be happening a lot more with today’s announcement). Buyer beware tho...bid what you want - want what you bid!

Thanks for all the help! I’m starting BI soon and trying to gain a reasonable expectation on where I’ll fall bidding initially and then follow on options to switch things up as desired after.

I was hired thinking I’d be top 10-20 in my class of 48. But back then we had almost half the class with XJT pilots with 20+ years there...(I’m guessing a lot of those were some that had to finish their degree to finally get placed in a UAL newhire class). Needless to say, I was smack dab in the middle of a class the ranged from 56 - 24.
Don’t worry about something you can’t control...just enjoy the first two nights on us. The rest you’ll have to pay for (during BI at least)

For those that have interviewed recently and now received a class date; how long before being notified you were successful? How long from interview to class date? Thx

Hey gang, what’s the likely-hood I can get a class here if I don’t have a degree but have the 1000 PIC from an AA regional? Was considering check airman which I know would increase my likelihood. How hardline is the degree these days with UAL

So you are saying there is a chance…

What is being said is the odds are between Slim and None. . . And Slim just left town…

For those that have recently interviewed, how long before receiving an indication on being successful/unsuccessful?

Secondly, how long between interview and class date?

Thank you for the replies.

Thank you for the replies.

You should hear back Tuesday or Wednesday the week following your interview. Still waiting on a class date, but we were told to expect classes about 2 months out from the interview date.
