You show up to class on day 1 and are awarded a jet. Day 2 you can bid if it’s open. Happened in many classes.

I’m sorry I don’t understand your question.....those spots went unfilled so they are very junior

If you are asking which will get you off reserve first that’s a moving target and if your asking which base is more senior through the ranks that will require some research.

I probably misworded my question. If a new hire bids DCA or EWR 737 will they be on reserve for a while?

It's the definition of "a while" that's the moving target. There are a ton a moving pieces involving mandatory retirements, planned aircraft deliveries, the economy in general, and events way outside the control of UA.

If UA keeps hiring ~100/mo between now and next summer (the current plan) there will be lots of movement and time on reserve will be short, perhaps a a couple months. It's likely that this will occur, but there are no assurances that it will happen.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

How long to get into ORD in the 756 and 737? How is life on reserve for each as a commuter? How long to hold a line for each in ORD, and how are the trips as a commuting junior lineholder? My commute would be one leg with 4-6 flights a day on RJs. Thanks in advance.
