8x A320 (EWR/ORD/IAH/SFO)
38x B737 (IAH)
4x B756 (SFO)
9x B777 (SFO)
Ultimately not that meaningful since all of these guys can hold something different in the massive vacancy going on right now, if they want to

Where's KDEN?
Any idea when KDEN will appear again on the drops? It's been absent for some time...

Applying now
Just a few questions but
Does applying now put someone on the tail end of the hiring wave? (permanent reserve on the bus for years) Not sure how many ua has hired in the past year but kinda seems that way
Is the bus going away at united ? Would like to stay on that airplane

Q2. Bus isn’t going away. We have neos coming next year. It is a smaller fleet, though. The movement is generally the same. Some bases you are better seniority-wise on the 737 and others on the 320. As far as being able to fly it, that will all depend on how old you are and how many are offered to your class. NB tend to go more senior than WB for the reasons covered a million times in this and other threads.

Your question seemingly boils down to: can I get on in 2023 and hold a line as a bus FO. The answer to that is 110% yes.
United has something like 14000 pilots. 5500 are slated to retire in the next 10 years. The hiring wave is not over.
