well how many have they hired since you? How big will classes be? Just manage expectations and try not to stress yourself out.

There's a LOT of short term uncertainty about United's staffing needs. Nobody is delivering airplanes on schedule, the regionals finally have captains again. There's the potential for really major short term swings in CJO to class timing.

There's essentially ZERO long term uncertainty about whether current united CJO's are coming to class. It's gotta 110% suck to be waiting ... but this isn't an issue like spirit. Every factor points toward united to continue to need to add people - they have about 50 pilots/month retiring for the next decade - they have to hire.

The pool moves quicker when all 3 legacies are running classes. With AA and UAL stopping classes for parts of the summer, it's gonna get stagnant for a bit.

Is AA actually stopping classes for parts of the summer? I had not heard that.

For years, they have paused hiring for a month or two in the summer. Give the schoolhouse an opportunity to take vacation. Nothing new.

They also don't have a class starting the last couple of weeks of December, for obvious reasons.

Vacancy Bids ?

Where can one find the recent vacancy bids & the outcome? I searched this forum & RST United on FB. Was golfing with a guy this past weekend and he said 75/76 at EWR went to 15,000. It's something I would like to monitor as the year goes on. Eveyone is pretty good about posting class drops etc....

The vacancy bid prior to that had an awards go to 16 and 17000 numbers. It really shouldn’t take too long for you to hold once you’re on property as long as this train stays in some sort of motion.
