also I doubt a captain upgrade over here is on the cards anytime soon especially past merger..
again though back to the main point. How much hiring left does everyone think United has in em for the next say 5 years. Where would that place someone. Is there any number how much they want to hire next year?
My relative seniority also is about to get blown up with integration to keep in mind assuming merger.

You’ll get variety of flying and the ability to fly widebody and upgrade on a couple different aircraft, but you’ll show up fly your trip and go home. The scheduling flexibility you get as a junior line holder at Spirit is something 30 year captains at UAL dream about at night. UAL is less of a dumpster fire operationally, so there’s that.

And yes ... the folks who don't remember 9/11 hired in 2023 did pretty well for themselves too.

Been here 3 years btw at the ulcc. So on 160 ish an hour. I really wish as I'm sure everyone else does united would put out a decent contract already. Near impossible to just yolo on hopes and dreams. Then again a merger with a lcc is also a yolo.

A320 vs 756
I know A version of this question has been asked… please be patient with me. I have time in a B737 and currently fly the A320… I am a west coaster (PNW) and start at the end of June.
Most likely have one of the first few picks in class.
I’ve noticed the last few drops only have 756 SFO or EWR to stay in the A320.
If I picked the A320 EWR…. Estimated time to DEN or SFO
Is there a Big leap from the B737 to 756 if you’ve been a Bus driver the last year?
Thanks for the input

A320 Time to den/sfo will likely be 1-2 months post ioe, potentially less
737 time to den/las/sfo will be before ioe
