Perhaps this will change going forward, but IMHO, the current program is really tailored for transitioning UA pilots, not new hires. But if you know that going in, the airplane is great and the flying can be a blast depending on base.
Also note that there is not a freeze to go up a category to the 756 from the 737 or 320 if one desired to do so after the first year.

Unless you have previous 756 time and/or international experience (and no, Mexico or the Caribbean does not count), be prepared for a firehose with the current 756 training footprint.

I think it all depends on the class. I have not been watching it closely, but I have noticed it both go senior and to the 8-ball (junior guy) in the past year.

If you want it it’s yours. It’ll be in EWR or SFO and don’t expect a lateral to anywhere else for a long time. DEN, ORD, IAH will be 3-5 years. You will have a 2 year seat lock before you can bid 737/320 FO.

New hires have been getting in lax as well. As an aside, the junior flying on the 756 in both lax and sfo isn’t great.

Seniority in New Hires
Can you confirm how seniority is calculated in the new hire class? I assume it is DOB (old guys get seniority) but just want to confirm as I think some airlines use SSN? Thanks in advance.
