I was in the June class and I'm on the 737. Waiting patiently for the East coast. Not sure when EWR or IAD will open but I'm hoping for something in the next vacancy. Even if there is one this month or next, it wont take effect until spring time. If I'd gone Airbus, I'd be on the east coast already. Either way I'm happy to be on the 737 and even happier just being here at United. Commuting out to SFO from DC isn't fun but its also not so terrible that I would ever complain about it. Me commuting for 6-8 months is nothing compared to what some of the senior guys and gals had to endure over the past 10-15 years. My hats off to them for sticking it out and making sacrifices that we new hires hopefully wont have to endure in our future.

Hey guys, regional pilot here, apologies if this has been answered already, I scoured the previous pages best I could. I was just wondering what the road looks like to get to a 76/77/787 (would love the opportunity to fly some routes to Europe one day). It looks like all new hires go to a 320/737/756 and they are seat locked for 2 years if I understand it correctly? Do you just bid for a new aircraft and then your seniority number is eventually called? And dare I ask how long before your number is called? Lol. Thanks in advance!
