People on the forum were saying that class dates were going out for Oct; however our internal site only shows BI dates through the end of Sep, so it's anyone's guess. I haven't seen the retirement numbers posted here, but the early retirements aren't really retirements, per se. Those that took the option, are still employees until they hit mandatory retirement. There are 222 people hitting mandatory retirement with a year from today.
Also I'd be curious to know if there's a way to find out how many of those 222 (and all the retirements coming up in the next 5 years) are people who took the early out option. Cause they show as coming up retirements, but they are practically already gone.

I have my interview towards the end of October, that's why I was curious to know if there's a hiring plan after that date.

In the past I remember seeing a table of the most junior pilot on each type in each UA base. I believe it was accessed from a website.
I’m not a UA pilot so I don’t think I would be able to access whatever site it’s from, but was curious if anyone could share the most recent base seniority numbers. I’m curious how things look after the 2020 buyouts and retirements.

LAX based trips are mostly domestic transcons to IAD/JFK/EWR with an occasional KOA. Base is just reopening so it is impossible to answer the second question.

Not possible. You earn vacation then get to use it the following vacation year and you can't "bank" vacation for use in future years. 14 days for the first 4 years and 21 days for 5-10 etc. These are bid in 1-2 week blocks. A junior pilot in a category will be able to successfully bid a 1 week vacation block in Feb or Oct. If you bid a junior category like SFO/EWR 737 then you might get a summer vacation after a few years. Holidays will always be held by the super senior in category.
